These organisations sought to agitate on a wide range of issues related to girls and women, connecting with public anxieties and highlighting particular vulnerabilities of girls and young women who lived alone in the city and had the potential to be exploited in the workforce. By the 1920s and 1930s these women's groups noted with concern the easier access to divorce and birth control in the Soviet Union and the growing influence of both Communism and 'Hitlerism' in galvanising young people. Agitate, Educate, Organise, Legislate explores the colourful debates and anxieties that were prevalent from the 1890s to the 1930s and the responses of the key women's organisations whose leadership and campaigns acknowledged that--outside of parliament and party politics--women's connection to political matters could be both innovative and socially influential. 410 0$aHistory series (Melbourne University Press) 606 $aProtestant women$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aSocial action$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zAustralia$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aWomen$zAustralia$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aProtestant women$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial action$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 676 $a305.420994 700 $aWarne$b Ellen$01788000 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961737903321 996 $aAgitate, educate, organize, legislate$94322159 997 $aUNINA
