This landmark political study chronicles the involvement of women in Australian political life, tracing their journey from the margins of civic participation to the heart of policy-making, party politics, and feminist activism. With rigorous scholarship and an accessible voice, the authors present a sweeping panorama of women's political engagement, from the suffragette movement through to the feminist policy advances of the late twentieth century, arguing that gender is an indispensable lens through which Australian democracy must be understood.\n\nSawer and Simms bring complementary expertise to bear on a subject that was, at the time of publication, sorely underrepresented in mainstream political science. The work illuminates the structural barriers that have constrained women's political ambitions, while also celebrating the remarkable individuals and collective movements that dismantled them. Rich in historical detail and theoretical depth, it occupies a foundational place in the canon of Australian feminist and political literature. For anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between gender and governance Down Under, this volume poses a question that continues to resonate: has a woman's place in Australian politics ever truly been secured?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336818073819,"sku":"2026200016499-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb91012b-890e-4473-a2db-dde1d4e2c88d.png?v=1789958786","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016499-secondhand-a-womans-place-women-and-politics-in-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
