Congratulations to Leigh Boucher, Barbara Baird, Michelle Arrow and Robert Reynolds on the publication of Personal Politics

Congratulations to Leigh Boucher, Barbara Baird, Michelle Arrow and Robert Reynolds on the publication of Personal Politics: Sexuality, Gender and the Remaking of Citizenship in Australia (Monash University Publishing). Personal Politics brings together the voices and campaigns of a diverse set of activists who employed ideas about gender and sexuality to remake modern Australia. Commencing with the 1970s, this book critically examines the wins and losses of the new ways activists imagined citizenship and provides a revised political history of the past fifty years. This is a story populated and propelled by outraged feminists, radical homosexuals, angry fathers, maligned stay-at-home mothers, distressed trans kids, happy lesbian and gay couples, and even a few from the local Men’s Shed. Eva Cox describes this as an ‘interesting analysis of some major political campaigns that offers ways of understanding how they worked or didn’t work’. Congratulations to the authors!
