A Writer’s Vantage Point: An Account of the ‘Accidental’ Emergence of an Australian Fashion Historian
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This essay traces the trajectory of a feminist educator and New Left intellectual who in the 1970s and 1980s was simultaneously ‘taking fashion seriously’ this was then understood as a political and cultural contradiction. Unpicking the 1970s feminist notion of ‘the personal is political’ the essay interrogates the evolution of the author's twenty-first century writing about Australian art and fashion and its surrounding cultural ecology from 1970s to the 1990s.
