Pictorial Wraps. Etat : Fine. First Edition. Australian Feminism and Aboriginal Women's Rights 1919-1939. Illustrated in b&w. Includes notes, bibliography, plus index. From rear cover: "In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a highly visible network of white women activists who vigorously promoted the rights of Australian Aboriginals. In this little-known campaign - by middle-class women's organisations such as the Australian Federation of Women Voters - Anglo-Australian women, among them Bessie Rischbieth, Edith Jones, Constance Cooke and Mary Bennett, took to the world stage to expose the plight of Aboriginal women. Their campaign made headline news, and Australian state and federal governments were shamed into action. One important outcome was the 1934 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Status and Conditions in Western Australia, at which white women activists presented compelling evidence of the need for reform in Aboriginal policy. These women strongly opposed assimilationist policies of the time such as child removal, institutionalisation and dispersal, promoting in their place assimilation based on universal and specific rights. Loving Protection? breaks new ground, highlighting white women's challenges to federal Aboriginal policy, and their attempt to complement men in the running of modern Australia.".

Pictorial Wraps. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. Illustrated in b&w. Includes appendixes, notes, bibliography, plus index. From rear cover: "John Croaker was born in humble but respectable circumstances in Canterbury, Kent, and became principal clerk at the Isle of Thanet Bank in Margate. This might have been the sum total of his life's achievements if he hadn't begun fiddling the bank's accounts. After absconding to Calais in 1815 with stolen assets, he was convicted of embezzling the proceeds of a bill of exchange, and was transported to New South Wales for fourteen years. Croaker's arrival coincided with the foundation of the Bank of New South Wales, and the former embezzler, granted a ticket of leave by Governor Macquarie, was employed to advise on its book-keeping procedures. It is very possible that he introduced the system of double-entry book-keeping to the colony as a whole. After being granted a conditional pardon he developed a strong interest in brewing, which led to ill-judged ventures in farming and especially malting. From 1820 his fortunes declined repidly. In 1823 Croaker took ship for England, dying in mysterious circumstances after a dramatic shipwreck on the coast of Chile. Croaker's career generates a succession of interesting issues. His involvements in banking, brewing and the law have allowed John Booker and Russell Craig to use him as a window on the economic, judicial and social conditions of his age, both in England and in New South Wales".
