As a child, I heard stories of women who rode free, dressed as men and went to the goldfields to try their luck during the 1850's goldrush in Victoria. They saved children from fire and flood. They found gold and gave it to those who needed it, learned new skills and gained new powers as free, autonomous, adults. I loved them.
But then? The 'forever' part? What did they do with the freedom they gained? What did their adventures teach them? They came home and their achievements were forgotten except for stories they told their children.
There was no active women's movement in Melbourne then to support them.
We will never know the truth behind these tales. But we do know that shortly after this time a women's movement grew in Victoria. And we know that it has been here ever since. There are many myths about feminism and the women's movement, so we decided to go to the feminists themselves.
We collected their own work and thoughts and when that wasn't possible we used the work of historians. We only show fragments here but there are leads to follow for more. The Women Working Together website also tells some of the anti-feminist reaction from those who tried, and still try, to kill the women's movement.
There is another purpose - to share knowledge of a wonderful saga, a saga of a struggle against prejudice that is really only just beginning.
