Summary Note "The Whitlam government transformed Australia. And yet the scope and scale of the reforms for Australian women are often overlooked. The Whitlam government of 1972–75 appointed a women’s advisor to national government - a world first - and reopened the equal pay case. It extended the minimum wage for women, introduced the single mother’s benefit and paid maternity leave in the public service, ensured cheap and accessible contraception, funded women’s refuges and women’s health centres, introduced accessible, no-fault divorce and the Family Court, and much more." - Back cover.
"'Women and Whitlam' brings together three generations - including Elizabeth Evatt, Eva Cox, Patricia Amphlett, Elizabeth Reid, Tanya Plibersek, Heidi Norman, Blair Williams and Ranuka Tandan - to revisit the Whitlam revolution and to build on it for the future." - Back cover.
Personal Name Whitlam, Gough 1916-2014.
