‘Entitled to a Better Standard Than This’ : Strong Female Lead, Julia Gillard and Sexism in Australian Politics
2022
single work
review
— Appears in: History Australia , vol. 19 no. 2 2022; (p. 395-396)'This documentary is hard to watch. While I was expecting the content, there was real power in the relentless accumulation of disrespect and abuse uttered in gendered, often violent and sexualised terms against Labor politician Julia Gillard. When she first became leader of the ALP and Australia’s 27th prime minister, Gillard acknowledged the milestone but wanted to downplay her status as the first woman in the role. Others, however, did not. Strong Female Lead explores how Gillard’s political legitimacy and integrity as a national leader were increasingly challenged in overtly gendered terms.'(Introduction)
