Description and Table of Contents
Description
When the first edition of "A Woman's Place" was published, very little had been written on the role of women in Australian politics. It offered a comprehensive and accessible discussion of the topic. The second edition of this work updates and expands the story of the other half of Australian politics. It examines the definition of politics which have rendered women and women's concerns invisible, and looks at the role played by women in all aspects of the political process. The authors also assess the changes of the past decade, arguing that feminist gains are vulnerable, and not nearly as wide-ranging as they may seem.
