The real Matilda : woman and identity in Australia, 1788 to the present
"Now in its fourth edition, The Real Matilda's arguments will resonate with readers interested in both national and gender identity. Miriam Dixson shows that Australia's distinctive past was crucial in shaping relations between men and women that persist into the present. She examines formative colonial influences - among them the self-doubting elites, the free poor, the Irish, and convictism as the founding institution - involved in producing an unusually masculinist culture."--Jacket
