Lately the WSRC has been inundated with Women’s Studies student groups, classes from Kildare College and Le Fevre came to visit for an introduction to our library.
A few topics that cropped up in discussion were the new Womens Political Party
(the more well known political women’s group is WEL – Women’s Electoral Lobby - an independent women’s lobby group working to protect the rights of Australian women), and a recent post by Buffy/Angel/Firefly creator Joss Whedon on fansite WHEDONesque called “What’s wrong with women?”.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to attack feminists, the Australian media has been highlighting the Surrendered Wife movement. (More discussion can be found here [the link contains some strong language].)
