tildahlia's review against another edition
4.0
It's clear why this book was so groundbreaking when first published, as really the first attempt to try to explain the experience of Australian women. This edition had all the various introductions from the reissuing publications over the year, which resulted in a pretty daunting tome! Summers has a razor-sharp writing style with plenty of passages to underline. Unsurprisingly, it has dated in parts and is overwhelmingly centred in white, cis, hetero women's experiences but in that, it does a good job. Interesting to reflect on how much has changed and how much has stayed very much the same.
