Impact Of Caroline Chisholm

She lived in inner west as well as Erskinville and St Peters, where she worked mostly in Redfern, which was the centre for Aboriginal politics during 1970’s. She lived with her in laws during her pregnancy in Kempsy on the Northern New South Wales coast. When she went back to Sydney, she recognised that the local hospital was isolated, therefore her husband and daughter returned to Kempsy. Mum Shirl stayed in Sydney where she worked for a short period of time at the local District Hospital. Due to her epilepsy, Mum Shirl was completely precluded from school, which was held by The Erambie Mission Managers wife, who was not professionally qualified for the children at the Mission. Mum Shirl was taking a shelter ‘under The Railway Bridge’ after leaving the Mission. She occasionally attended the St Bridge School, where she attained some education and only learnt alphabets, but unfortunately she could not be taught how to read and write. When Mum Shirl’s daughter Beatrice considered living with her in laws in Kempsy, she thought of seeking employment. It was very hard for her to find permanent employment due to her epilepsy. She was a voluntary worker, where the child welfare department and the police in Newtown relied on her to assist them with Aboriginal community court cases. Because of her support, she was given a small kindness pay. On the other hand, her only source of income was her pension which was

“We may yet live to see that day when women will no longer be news. And it cannot come too soon. I want to be a peaceful, happy, normal human being, pursuing my unimpeded way through life, never having to explain, defend, or apologize for my sex” (Nellie McClung, 1929). Throughout most of history, men have had greater rights than women. In present days, the equality between men and women have improved, despite the fact that some countries are still striving to establish those same rights for both genders. What impact did Nellie McClung make on Canadian society? She is a perfect example of a Canadian social activist who advocated for the rights of women throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In this essay, I will examine the depictions of the fight for suffrage and the stand for electoral office, in addition to the contribution of the Famous 5 and the type of feminism she represented in order to demonstrate the impact and influence she had as a Canadian woman.

“I am, was, and always be a catalyst for change” (Chisholm, 1970). Shirley Chisholm was a Visionary Leader and Ethical Leader by challenging the country to live up to ideals of equality and opportunity, while navigating the rough political landscape, contending with racial and gender discrimination. In this essay, I will review how Shirley Chisholm used her visionary leadership traits by becoming the first African American congresswoman to create diversity and how she used Idealized Influence to garner votes to run for U.S. presidency. Additionally, I will review how Chisholm displayed Ethical Leadership by challenging the seniority system in Congress and how she used her moral values to stand up for what she believed in. Finally, I will review how Shirley Chisholm’s visionary and ethical leadership behavior is personally relevant to me. First, let’s review how Chisholm used her visionary leadership traits.

As a result of WW1, Australia’s society became an unbiased environment for Women, because they were given the opportunity to do jobs that had been left empty by men who had gone to fight the Germans. Life for

During the World War II era, the outlook on the role of women in Australian society revolutionised. As a majority of men were at war, Australian women were encouraged to rise above and beyond their stereotypical ‘housewife’ status. They were required to take on the tasks that were once considered predominantly male roles, and also allowed the opportunity to join the armed services as well as enlist in the Women’s Land Army. Many women who doubted their abilities played their part by entering voluntary work. Women had the privilege of contributing in Australian society in many ways that they had never been able before. Thus, it is manifest that the role of women in Australian society had drastically changed.

Ruth Hegarty’s 1999 autobiography,” Is that you, Ruthie?”, Illuminates the trials and tribulations that were experienced by Aboriginal families under the 1897 Aboriginals Protection and the restriction of the Sale of Opium Bill. “The Act” encouraged Aboriginal Families onto reserves such as Cherbourg which in turn created a sense of entrapment in these camps as well as various Employment blunders that are still being reported on today.

During the years from 1914 - 1918 Australia was at constant battle all over the world fighting for the british. With battles deaths always follow. So many people say, “what did we ever gain from WW1 we lost so many people as a country”. Although we lost almost 60,000 men and 150,000 wounded or taken prisoner. After the war the British Government offered ex-servicemen free transportation to some of the colonies, 17,000 migrants arrived in Australia between 1919 and 1922. Community organisations paid for migrants to come over to Australia. Small numbers also arrived independently. It was also said that up to 300,000 men came over from britain post war to live. The British government gave an incentive to migrate over because so many people

Australia’s white colonisation began as a penal colony, which is where the beginnings of modern nursing and health care commenced. With the white people coming to Australia they introduced many illnesses and diseases into the country and with this we saw outbreaks of smallpox, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, influenza, measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough. These diseases caused considerable loss of life among indigenous people.

WWII had a large impact on the lives of Australian women. As the men were away from their homes and daily lives fighting overseas, women were employed in jobs, got paid at higher rates than usual, became the important figure in the house and were enrolled in women’s army roles.

To identify, and describe the extent of, the international influences on the role, and lives, of women in Australia before, during and after World War One

Before World War 2 commenced, women 's roles in Australia were extremely different to now. The Australian government believed that women were not needed to perform in any sort of military service, however, once the war began it was thought otherwise (Ergo.slv.vic.gov.au, 2015). The roles of women changed significantly during this time, specifically around the 1940 's. The social, political, and economic rights for Australian women were all major changes made during this period of time (Awm.gov.au, 2015). This essay focuses on the role of women before and after these changes occurred, also the affect this made to society.

Australia in the early 1900s has developed a reputation as a ‘working man’s paradise’ for its greater opportunity to success and an egalitarian society. However not all workers proved this to be true. In order to determine this statement, Issues to be discussed include firstly the hours of work for different genders, secondly the working conditions and finally the dispute for the right to fair treatment to women and Aboriginal natives throughout the 19th century.

The 20th of May 1820 William is employed as a 3rd District constable.8 The police force was predominately ex-convicts. William is on the pay lists of constables employed at Sydney from 27th of December 1822 through to 30th of August 1825. This employment gave him and his family a stable income of £13 11s 8d increasing to £20 11s 8d over the five years he was a constable. Each entry only list a wife and two children which he is entitled payment for.9

Before Eleanor Roosevelt, the role of the first lady was not a political role; it was merely just a formal title of the president's wife. Eleanor Roosevelt paved the way for all presidents' wives to come by being active in politics during and after her husband's presidency. Of course, she did not have instant success; she had many trials which helped her become an important and influential role model. Eleanor Roosevelt's dedication to her husband, her activeness in politics, and her volunteer work enabled her to change the role of the First Lady.

Noel Pearson’s speech ‘an Australian history for us all’ discusses his approach to trying to solve some of the most systemic problems facing Australian Aboriginals today. The speakers are successful in understanding the ideas and values of the speech. Through the uses of various language techniques and context, Pearson’s speech details the struggles of the relationship between the first European settlers and Aboriginal Australians.
