The 1890s were a watershed in Australian history, a time of mass
unemployment, industrial confrontation and sweeping social change.
They also nurtured a flourishing radical culture: anarchists,
socialists, single taxers, feminists and republicans. This 1997
book, informed by feminist theory and cultural studies, recreates
that political and social vision. Bruce Scates reappraises these
radicals and the debates they entered into and the causes they
espoused. He offers new insights into a broad range of topics: the
creation of the Labor Party and the meaning of citizenship; the
rise of 'first-wave' feminism and contested gender definitions; the
vibrant literary culture; the Utopian vision of the radicals and
the communities they established; and the harsh realities of
poverty and unemployment. The book tells the story of the politics
of the street, and draws out many of the striking resonances
between the 1890s and the 1990s.
