On enhancing womanhood - an Indigenous perspective / Lilla Watson |
| Summary |
Includes reference to 'Mungo Man' who was actually a woman, which the author says demonstrates the power of male definitions and the limits this has imposed on the Western-thinking women's movement; talks about the necessity of solidarity amongst women and the need to reflect this in actions; claims the Indigenous experience of 'Aboriginal' people has brought about the correct behaviours and laws for both women and men to live by in this land; talks about the group-based nature of Aboriginal society and culture, terms of reference, Aboriginal history being located in the land not in the people and not written down but rather a living experience; states since Aboriginal women provide 50% to 90% of the food for the whole group they have created a tremendous spirit of independence for Aboriginal women p. 193-196 |
