Chris And Sarah Wear The Pants

6 - AUSTRALIA’S FIRST GIRL BOSSES AND WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH SOCKS


Listen Later

In a particularly wholesome episode, Chris and Sarah discuss a weird moment Sarah had at a gig and their current book and TV obsessions. Chris shares an article about pioneer feminists in Australia, and shares a powerful moment she had at college. Sarah shares a silly story from a Sunday paper from the 30’s about a man, his wife a mystery pair of socks. 


Chris’s article is from The ABC Weekly, Saturday July 8 1950 - Australian Pioneers of Women’s Rights by Frances Davidson 


Sarah’s article is from Sunday Mail (Brisbane, 1926-1954), Sunday June 5 1932 - Ways of Women; A Bargain in Socks. 


Sarah references this very handy Gender Equality Timeline by the Victorian Women’s Trust 


The books Sarah read are The Song of Achilles and The Way I Used to Be - make sure you read the blurb on both and take care before reading!
