2012 Emeritus Professor Marian Sawer: Feminism for the 21st century

You can watch the lecture online on the ANU YouTube channel. The transcript and slides are also available.

About the lecture

Feminism has suffered from 'false feminist death syndrome' for almost as long as it has existed. Some believe that now with a woman Prime Minister equality has been 'done' in Australia and the time for feminism is over. In this lecture Marian Sawer will examine some of the media representations of feminism over the past century and the rather different story that can be found in the archives. This is a story of feminist persistence in pursuit of goals still far from achieved.
