The First Voice of Australian Feminism
The Dawn was the first Australian journal produced entirely by women which actively campaigned for women's rights. It was run almost single-handedly by Louisa Lawson.; Contains advice on marriage, children, housekeeping etc.
That Mad Louisa
Richard Handley tells the courageous story of Louisa Lawson, a leader in the fight for women's rights and a significant character in Australian history. He highlights the great courage she showed in coping with her problems and the determination and fighting spirit in confronting male chauvinism and the subjugation of women in nineteenth-century Australia. Louisa emerges as the foremost feminist writer of her day and as a gifted poet. In the past, her reputation has suffered and her importance has been ignored, with the biographers of Henry Lawson, her son, painting her as a careless, uncaring, and sexually repressed wife. Richard Handley's That Mad Louisa has addressed that situation, highlighting her championing of women's welfare and equality, her Australian patriotism, her inventiveness, publishing and journalistic qualities, and her charitable works.

Colonial Australian Women Poets
My book traces the significant poetic and political contributions made by non-canonical women poets, situating women's poetry both in colonial Australian print culture and in wider imperial and transnational contexts. Women poets in colonial Australia have tended to be represented as marginal and isolated figures or absent. This study intervenes by demonstrating an alternative networked tradition of transnational feminist poetics and politics beyond and around emergent masculine nationalism, particularly within newspapers and periodical print culture. Without the inclusion of periodical literature, women’s poetry in Australia during the colonial period would appear to have been fairly limited. When periodical literature is taken into account, this picture is radically altered, and poets emerge as consistent contributors, often across a variety of newspapers and journals, who were well-known, influential and connected with political figures and literary circles. In examining this poetry in the original context of the newspapers and journals, the political intervention and the reception of that poetry is made much more apparent.
