Re-inventing Motherhood: Women, Breadwinning and Childcare in Australia, 1880-1980

重塑母性：1880-1980年澳大利亚的妇女、养家糊口和育儿。该项目旨在分析从1880年到1980年澳大利亚职业母亲的发展经历，以确定妇女及其家庭如何处理工作、生存策略和儿童保育之间的紧张关系。它将挑战目前对公共工作和私人家庭生活之间简单二分法的看法，探索工作和护理形式的相互联系，以及它们与阶级、民族和种族的交集。这将为了解妇女工作和家庭生活的历史演变以及在今天这个双收入家庭时代制订社会政策提供一个重要的新基础。

Re-inventing Motherhood: Women, Breadwinning and Childcare in Australia, 1880-1980. The project aims to analyse the evolving experiences of working mothers in Australia from 1880 to 1980 to ascertain how women and their families handled the tensions between work, survival strategies, and child care. It will challenge current views of a simple dichotomy between public work and private family lives, exploring the interlinking of forms of work and care, and their intersections with class, ethnicity and race.This will provide a significant new base for understanding the historical evolution of women's work and family life and for formulating social policy today in an age of the dual-income family.
