Worth Her Salt


Margaret Bevege, Margaret James & Carmel Shute, editors

Worth Her Salt brings together research and recollection in an illuminating exploration of women’s experiences in Australia. A collection of refreshing diversity, its range of topics includes sexual harassment at work, flappers and their lifestyle, the continuing fight for equal pay, and women pioneers of politics and social reform; it ranges from education in Adelaide at the turn of the century to life in north Queensland in World War II, and looks at the contemporary implications of technological change. – book cover
