Revisiting Iola Mathews' Feminist Battlegrounds,
single work

This Bus Is a TARDIS,
single work
prose
'Saturday 4.50pm. On Melbourne's Punt Rd, bus brakes squeal and huff. The 246 hits a standstill at the Bridge Rd corner. There's a momentary pall of silence on board — only the indicator click-clacks. The bus rests low on its suspension and seems to sigh. I slide across to the window side of my seat and brace myself. I expect noise, heat, irritation. I'd forgotten about the train lines closing for works.' (Introduction)

Hawkie, for Whom I'd Have Faced Cannon Fire,
single work
obituary
'I told one of my fiercely right-wing Kiwi uncles that if Bob Hawke were elected leader of the ALP I'd follow him through cannon-fire, and surprisingly won his (grudging) respect. For he was a man's man, and so was my then hero.' (Introduction)
