About The Author
Ann Curthoys
Celebrated historian Ann Curthoys AM, FASSA, FAHA has written extensively about race, class, and gender in Australian history, with an interest in both its British imperial contexts and its American, especially African American, connections. Influenced by her mother’s involvement in pro-Aboriginal political activism and her own participation in the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride, Curthoys established the Women’s Studies Program at the Australian National University, taught History at the University of Technology Sydney, and later returned to ANU where she became the Manning Clark Chair of History. The Australian History Association’s Ann Curthoys Prize is awarded for early career excellence.
