Summary Note A selection from 'The Dawn', "the first Australian journal produced entirely by women which actively campaigned for women's rights. Run almost single-handedly by Louisa Lawson (mother of Henry Lawson) it directly affected the lives of Australian women - by promoting changes to Female Suffrage, to women's conditions of work, to women's education... 'The Dawn' was also characterised by a preoccupation with the actual daily lives of its readers: it contained a wealth of advice and correspondence, often of a polemical and controversial nature, on marriage, on the bringing up of children, on how to run the household and so on.... [This selection] provides a fascinating insight into the origins and evolution of Australian feminism and presents a remarkably intimate picture of the sensibility of ordinary Australian women at the turn of the century." - Inside book flap.
