5th recommendation for anyone seriously considering Australia's history curriculum is 'You Daughters of Freedom' by @clareawright Another quick thread here because I think it's important 1/7 #historyteacher #histedchat: booktopia.com.au/you-daughters-…
Not only is this book completely absorbing, but it also brings forward stories that I don't think are (or were) too widely known or at least stories that are not very well-understood (I certainly learned a lot reading it!). 2/7
More importantly in the context of this discussion, it raises crucial Qs around how the story of modern Australia is often told (with a major focus in school history on Federation, early social reform and WW1). Australian women were on the world stage before any of this. 3/7
