SUMMARY:The Whole Duty of (Wo)men: Female Printers in the Goold Collection
DESCRIPTION:One of the fascinating discoveries to emerge from James Goold’s library was the collection of works produced by early female printers. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries women were generally excluded from trade guilds.  The printing trade was no exception.  But some of the wives of printers were just as skilled at the printing trade as their husbands and when widowed could sometimes manage to seize the opportunity. Some of the products of their work are now collectors’ items. Find out more about these early women and how they shaped the development of the early modern book. \nJoin Huw Sandaver in this free lecture. \n  \nPart of the Public Program series for The Invention of Melbourne. \n

SUMMARY:Disposing of the unwanted products of women’s bodies: identifying the gynaeocentric zone
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin the Melbourne Feminist History Group for a special viewing of the Old Treasury Building’s ‘Wayward Women?‘ exhibition followed by a discussion by Shurlee Swain regarding Melbourne’s gynaeocentric zone. \nAbout Professor Emerita Shurlee Swain’s talk: \nDisposing of the unwanted products of women’s bodies: Identifying the gynaeocentric zone \nThis paper explores Melbourne’s gynaeocentric zone\, a distinct area accommodating a cluster of businesses charged with disposing of the unwanted products of women’s bodies. The key players in this zone were female workers who carved an independent living out of their socially stigmatised but highly necessary activities. Shaped by shame\, the gynaeocentric zone was never publicly acknowledged but was well enough known to be easily found by people in need of its services. Emerging with the development of rudimentary public transport systems in the 1880s it dissipated as mobility increased into the 1920s. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Fashionable Style: the 1850s Crinoline
DESCRIPTION:The ‘must-have’ style of the mid-1850s\, the crinoline\, was worn by every class of society\, and women on the Victorian gold fields were no exception! This dress style was far from practical to wear in a tent\, but it was the prevailing fashion.\nThe Old Treasury Building holds two dresses in this style in the collection. Entirely sewn by hand\, it is estimated that there are over 5000 stitches in one of the skirts alone! Join historian Margaret Anderson to discover this dress style: what it might have been like to make\, wear and care for such a dress. This will be a white glove event. You will be able to examine the dresses up close and personal!\nLimited seating is available for this lecture so bookings are essential! \nPresented as part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Arts Program. \n \n

SUMMARY:Marking Women’s History Month – Votes for Women
DESCRIPTION:The Old Treasury Building is a key building in Victoria’s Parliamentary precinct; and rather appropriately located nearby is a wonderful sculpture by Susan Hewitt and Penelope Lee called the Great Petition which reminds us of the long campaign for equal political rights for women. The sculpture refers to the “Monster Petition” calling for women to be granted the right to vote in Victoria. It was signed by 30\,000 Victorian women over a period of six weeks in 1891. The original petition\, which consists of sheets of paper glued onto lengths of calico fabric\, is 260 metres long and is held by the state’s Public Record Office. It took another two decades before women achieved the right vote! This beautifully illustrated and fascinating lecture looks at campaign for women’s suffrage in the United Kingdom and Australia with special focus on the jewellery\, accessories\, ceramics\, banners\, printed ephemera and other artistic objects that used distinct colour schemes and logos to popularize the cause. \n

SUMMARY:Teasing Women’s Stories from the Archives
DESCRIPTION:In March we celebrate Women’s History Month\, part of the context for annual celebrations of International Women’s Day on 8 March. In this seminar three historians share their experience of researching women’s lives\, as biographical dictionaries strive to increase their representation of women.  From a medieval countess to Victoria’s female criminals\, the stories uncovered range widely in both time and place\, pointing to the richness the archives can yield ‘with a little more effort and research’. \n  \nPanellists: \nDr Carolyn Rasmussen \n‘ “They just need a little more effort and research to track down”: addressing the gender imbalance in the Australian Dictionary of Biography.’ \nThe Australian Dictionary of Biography was\, from its inception\, intended to include representative as well as significant Australians\, but nevertheless women remained in the shadows with only 10 women to 565 men in volume one and 11 women to 596 men in volume two.  The proportion has gradually increased to nearly one quarter of those who died between 1991 and 2001\, but the challenge to redress the balance has now been taken up and the number of ‘recovered lives’ are testament to the effort and research of recent years. Plans are in hand to incorporate them into a revised Australian Dictionary of Biography. \n  \nDr Kathleen Neale\, Monash University \n‘Looking for Elizabeth: locating medieval women in the archives’ \nIn response to shifting community expectations\, major biographical dictionaries are moving to include more women among their entries. How can medieval women be located in the archives of institutions from which they were largely excluded in their own time\, and in which later archivists were often uninterested in noticing and listing them where their lives were recorded? This presentation reflects on my experience of researching the biography of one of the daughters of Edward I. \n  \nDr Alana Piper\, University of Technology Sydney \n‘Freeing female prisoners from the archives: Understanding “criminality” in context’ \nIn his 1937 memoir about his career as a police detective in Melbourne\, Alfred Stephen Burvett made a seemingly oxymoronic remark when he stated ‘It must be remembered that it is not always criminals who commit offences or crimes.’ Historically not every individual who entered the prison system fitted popular conceptions of the ‘criminal’; this seems especially true of women prisoners. Using archival prison records\, this paper will discuss the offending careers of 6\,042 women incarcerated in Victoria between 1860 and 1920 in order to reveal the complexities behind the ‘criminal’ identity imposed upon such women. \n  \nMargaret Anderson\, Director at the Old Treasury Building\, will facilitate the discussion \n  \n  \nBrief bios \nCarolyn Rasmussen’s work as a public historian since 1985 has ranged over the history of Victorian public institutions\, the labour movement\, science and technology\, education\, biography and the role of women in all of them.  She is currently an honorary fellow in the University of Melbourne and chair of the Victorian Working Party of the Australian Dictionary of Biography.  Her most recent publication is The Blackburns; Private Lives\, Public Ambition. \nKathleen Neal is Lecturer in History at Monash University. She is a specialist in medieval political culture\, and a frequent contributor to RN’s This Week in History on medieval topics. Her book on letters and political rhetoric in the reign of Edward I of England is forthcoming with Boydell Press. \nAlana Piper is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Australian Centre for Public history at UTS. Her current project\, Criminal Characters (2018-2022)\, uses digital history to trace the lives and criminal careers of Australian offenders from the 1850s to 1940s. From 2014 to 2018 Alana was a Research Fellow at Griffith University on The Prosecution Project. Alana’s research interests draw together the social and cultural history of crime with gender history\, legal history and the digital humanities. With Ana Stevenson\, she produced the edited collection Gender Violence in Australia: Historical Perspectives (Monash University Publishing\, 2019). \n
