While leadership is an over-used term today, how it is defined for women and the contexts in which it emerges remains elusive. Moreover, women are exhorted to exercise leadership, but occupying leadership positions has its challenges. Issues of access, acceptable behaviour and the development of skills to be successful leaders are just some of them. Diversity in Leadership: Australian women, past and presentprovides a new understanding of the historical and contemporary aspects of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women’s leadership in a range of local, national and international contexts. It brings interdisciplinary expertise to the topic from leading scholars in a range of fields and diverse backgrounds. The aims of the essays in the collection document the extent and diverse nature of women’s social and political leadership across various pursuits and endeavours within democratic political structures.

"Written when our ancestors had a strong faith in the worth of facts as educative agents, and many educators believed that children's books should not only be morally improving, but should also set an example by offering only plain truth rather than mendacious flights of fancy. It gives a rare and authentic glimpse of life in the early years of Australia using the "catechism" technique which was much used for most of the nineteenth century, particularly in works aiming to disseminate knowledge. Within its limitations, the book does repesent a real attempt to communicate to children some of qualities of the Australian scene, and, within the self-imposed constraints of "truth", to offer relevant stories of high adventure." -- Introduction.

Apart from that we've left it just as it was - a true collectors' cookbook especially for you. Now you can recreate your favourite cakes - the swimming pool, rocket and that train from the cover for your own child.

Visionaries, pioneers, activists and artists - women who made a difference to Australia An updated and condensed edition of Susanna de Vries' Great Australian Women, this is a celebration of women who broke the mould, crashed through the ceilings, and shaped the nation in the fields of medicine, law, the arts and politics. From Lillie Goodisson, pioneer of family planning, to Eileen Joyce, world-famous pianist, Enid Lyons, our first female cabinet minister, Stella Miles Franklin, who endowed our most celebrated literary prize, and Catherine Hamlin, who has given hope to thousands of women through her fistula hospitals in Africa, these are women who have made a difference. They are the women who helped to forge the Australia we know today.
