1 [Review Essay] Fighting Hard : The Victorian Aborigines Advancement Patricia Grimshaw , 2016 single work review essay
— Appears in: Victorian Historical Journal , June vol. 87 no. 1 2016; (p. 181-183) 'We are already indebted to Richard Broome for examinations of encounters of Aboriginal Victorians and settler regimes, including his book Aboriginal Victorians: A History Since 1800, which appeared in 2005. In Fighting Hard he has advanced our knowledge and understanding of this crucial area with a history of the highly important organisation, the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League (VAAL). The League has been the most prominent post-war Indigenous organisation in this state and, we learn, the longest continuous Aboriginal organisation in the country. Founded in 1957, the VAAL has served for close on six decades as an advocacy body for Victorian Indigenous rights and aspirations, and as a vital base for activists who influenced the formation of other state and national associations. Despite the high profile of the League there has been no previous scholarly history; Hyland House published a brief account thirty years ago, but its author had no access to the VAAL archives. In researching this story Broome has benefited considerably from collaboration with League members and their associates, who generously shared their knowledge through discussions and interviews. They have been aided in this collaborative endeavour by the agreement the League forged with the State Library of Victoria to house its substantial archive, a negotiation in which Richard Broome himself played a crucial part. In Fighting Hard, he offers a meticulously researched and accessibly written narrative of the League and its formidable efforts on behalf of fellow Indigenous Victorians and Aborigines nationally.'

1 Rethinking Approaches to Women in Missions : The Case of Colonial Australia Patricia Grimshaw , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: History Australia , vol. 8 no. 3 2011; (p. 7-24) 'This paper focuses on three women in Protestant missions from the later decades of the nineteenth century to the 1920s, examining the circumstances that made cross-cultural exchanges of faith, learning, family and work on Australian missions distinctive. On sites where missionaries, Indigenous residents, government bureaucrats and neighbouring settlers were all stakeholders with competing interests, the white mission women held out the promise to Indigenous Christian women of creative new life opportunities. They believed, mistakenly, that they could deliver on their promises, despite living in the midst of a society and working within settler governmental regimes that were thriving on Indigenous dispossession. The paper considers fragmentary glimpses of these concerns as they emerged within the writings of white and Indigenous Christian women in Manunka (South Australia), Mapoon on Cape York (Queensland) and East Gippsland (Victoria).'
