AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Compares the contemporary urban position within the family of Indonesian and Indigenous Australian women, as represented in the literary texts the women themselves produce. ‘State Ibuism’ for Indonesian women is contrasted with the image of Indigenous Australian women as ‘battlers’ and ‘matriarchs’ in the construction of culturally and socially appropriate female behaviour. Chapter 4 discusses a number of texts by Aboriginal women writers, particularly Sally Morgan’s My Place and Ruby Langford Ginibi’s Don’t Take Your Love to Town.' (Publication abstract)
