Jessie Street: Documents and Essays, edited by Heather Radi, brings together a rich collection of primary documents and critical essays that illuminate the life and thought of one of Australia's most consequential yet frequently overlooked women. The volume presents Street's own writings alongside scholarly commentary, offering readers direct access to the political convictions and personal drive that made her a formidable force in 20th-century reform movements, from women's suffrage and Aboriginal rights to international peace and labour causes.\n\nRadi, a distinguished Australian historian, assembles this collection with scholarly precision, drawing out the ideological currents that shaped Street's activism and situating her work within the broader landscape of feminist and humanist thought. The result is an indispensable primary source for students and researchers of Australian women's history, social justice movements, and mid-century political culture. Radi's editorial hand is both rigorous and revelatory, allowing Street's formidable intellect and moral urgency to speak clearly across the decades — leaving the reader to wonder just how differently Australia's story might have unfolded had Street's most ambitious visions been fully realised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336812372187,"sku":"2026100008789-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1d5cbe3f-a533-455d-b42a-6d45d2a1a1dc.png?v=1789958475","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008789-secondhand-jessie-street-documents-and-essays","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
