Over generations, Australian women have envisaged a world of
freedom. This new collection of documents - letters, songs, poetry,
diary extracts - charts the visions that inspired women and the
obstacles that confronted them.Exploring twentieth-century
Australia, Freedom Bound II shows how intertwined were women's
public and personal lives, and how bound by custom, ties,
affections and duties. The different meanings of freedom have been
shaped by the nature of women's oppression, their quests given
focus by their different points of departure. Aboriginal women
sought self-determination and the right to keep their children;
migrant women sought to affirm culture and family ties, and escape
discrimination and poverty. Overburdened mothers wanted relief from
continual childbearing and a measure of self-fulfilment. Numerous
women have campaigned for freedom from domestic tyranny and male
violence.Together with its companion volume, Freedom Bound I, which
deals with the period of colonisation, this volume documents the
dreams that inspired women, the pleasures and the pain that
informed their politics and the desires that enthralled them, even
as they bade them to be free. It is an essential resource for
students and teachers of Australian women's history.
