Notes

  • Author's note [in Sister Girl]: Over the years I have attended numerous conferences where the mandatory requirement has been a conference paper. A paper called 'Defying the Ethnographic Ventriloquists' was delivered by Kay Saunders and myself at Melbourne University at the Lilith Conference. Instant relief came after presenting it and this time I was caught up with some feelings still unresolved which I had to let go of. After an almost sleepless night I attempted to get rid of the gripping sensation that was overtaking me. 'Reflections', written in 1993, was just that, a long hard look at life and the emotions of being an Indigenous person.

These essays and interviews combine both the public and the personal in a bold trajectory tracing one Murri woman's journey towards self-discovery and human understanding...Sister Girl examines many topics, including community action, political commitment, the tradition and value of oral history, and government intervention in Aboriginal lives. It challenges accepted notions of the appropriateness of mainstream feminism in Aboriginal society and of white historians writing Indigenous history. Closer to home, there are accounts of personal achievement and family experience as she revisits the writing of Auntie Rita with her mother Rita Huggins - the inspiration for her lifework.'
