This 1974 masterpiece is a groundbreaking, essential monument of Australian photography and feminist history. Produced on the eve of International Women's Year, photographer Carol Jerrems and editor Virginia Fraser assemble a landmark "collective portrait" capturing 1970s counterculture, liberation activism, and raw, intimate everyday life down under.
It interweaves 131 black-and-white portraits, ranging from artists, activists, and subcultures like the Sharpies to everyday women, friends, and mothers. It was Jerrems’ only published book before her untimely death, making it one of the most coveted photobooks in Australian and feminist visual culture.
