In 1975 the fight was alive. It was the year the United Nations declared ‘International Women’s Year’ as a marker of progress and aspiration. Fifty years on, award-winning journalist Virginia Haussegger shines a light on the feminist revolution in Australia, capturing its spirited momentum and a fatigued lag.
Unfinished Revolution tells a fresh story of feminist action in this country, from the largest women’s protest rally – March4Justice in 2021 – to the dynamic Australian Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1970s. With a focus on gender and power in politics and the media, from national consciousness raising to shifting media narratives, this book is an exploration of what feminist change looks like. Unfinished Revolution is a clarion call to reignite the feminist fightback.
