1 Finding a Place for Women in Australian Cultural History : Female Cultural Activism Jane Hunt , 2004 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Historical Studies , October vol. 35 no. 124 2004; (p. 221-237)

'With only a few exceptions, the endeavours of culturally active women appear as irrelevant or marginal to the history of Australian culture. Australian cultural historiography dwells an antithetic relationships, whether between cultural-political elites, gendered spaces and practices, or elitist and popular culture. However, this historical preoccupation with dichotomous nations of class, gender, and culture has deflected attention from other aspects of the struggle to define culture. Cultural definitions were far from fixed for most of the first half of the twentieth century in Australia. Negotiations on what constituted appropriate cultural form, content, and practice are apparent inside and outside establishment institutions where they existed in movements to found cultural institutions where they did not exist, and in grass roots personal and collective choices.'

1 Cultivating the Arts : Sydney Women Culturists, 1900-1914 Jane Hunt , 2001 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Twentiety-Century Australian History : Number One 2001; (p. 41-57) In early twentieth century Sydney, a group of women, all well provided for financially, all influential, and all residents of the eastern suburbs, played an active role in the city's cultural life. As high cultural practices in late nineteenth-century Britain were identified with middle-class lifestyles, it is possible that class interest in part motivated the concern Sydney women culturalists felt for the creative and intellectual life of the city and its residents. This article argues that upper middle-class women living in the eastern suburbs of Sydney practiced a particular type of patronage characterised by signs of new womanhood and a variably progressive concern for the cultural welfare of both individuals and the nation.
