dc.description.abstractThis is the second of two volumes of Scutt's collected writing.' The material in this second volume ranges widely over topics as diverse the Stolen Children (pp 215-30), pornography and free speech (pp 247-60), sexually transmitted debt (pp 123-40) and women and political imprisonment (pp 205-13). However, in keeping with the theme of this edition of the Griffith Law Review, this review will focus on several of the chapters in the collection which discuss democracy, politics and workplace politics as they relate to women in Australia. In her introduction to this collection, Scutt notes that at the close of the twentieth century, one of the enduring demands which women continue to find unsatisfied is political equality. She argues that women continue to lack equality and to be silenced in both public and private spheres. Two themes constantly reappear in this collection. The first is that women's participation in the struggle for change is imperative; women must make their way into the political arena if they are to make a difference. The second theme is that a recognition and reclamation of history - or 'herstory' (p 245) - is important in working towards a future where women have more control.
