Feel like I’ve got a cheeky advantage on this one 🤭 #aushist #polhist

The abstract to my article: it reads "In the 1920s and 1930s, Australian feminists – alongside their counterparts across the world – confronted their omission from collecting institutions as they fought exclusion from the entangled pursuits of history-writing and nation-making. Extending the scholarship on women’s ‘archival activism’, this article details feminists’ heterogenous mnemonic practices by studying how author Miles Franklin and suffragist and pacifist Vida Goldstein created paper trails and considered posterity. Scrutinising both women’s divergent archival strategies and memory networks not only clarifies their decisions about housing their collections in state archives or gender-dedicated institutions but reveals their deliberation over whether the nation constituted a suitable vector for the transmission of feminist knowledge."
I have a new open access article out in

come after us’: interwar feminists’ archival activism and
the recasting of Australian history' www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I have a rare full day today to just research and write - such a blessing. 😍
But how do you balance/juggle on days that you don’t? Any and all advice welcome!

Yes!! But I’ve honestly just gotten to the point where I’m like okay I can’t separate myself from the history community - having that professional community actually helps me produce better work! So my current mindset is it’s actually useful for the APS for me to have strong links to the community
Back at NAA getting to delve into the archives! #austhist
Just quietly - I am writing again for the first time in a very long time. Equal parts thrilling and extremely daunting. Anyone else get that fear of having lost all of your skills? Just me?

Kristen!!! I’m actually living in Canberra - we should catch up! I’m the historian for The Lodge and Kirribilli House but just trying to work out parameters of where Georgia the historian and Georgia the public servant begin and end online! Hence the general-ish lurking for now!
It’s been a while since I’ve been active on social media as a historian - just lurking and seeing what’s happening on blue sky …
