Publisher's Synopsis
This book chronicles the development of the Union of Australian Women from an organisation of dissidents in 1950 to a respected part of the women's movement half a century later. This book sheds light on the politics and practices of Australian governments, political parties, trade unions, security and intelligence organisations, the Churches and the women's movement. It has relevance for anyone interested in the politics of the Left, women's issues and feminism, the peace movement -- and how to organise at grassroots level. It is also a very good read.
