Impact Of Caroline Chisholm

During the years from 1914 - 1918 Australia was at constant battle all over the world fighting for the british. With battles deaths always follow. So many people say, “what did we ever gain from WW1 we lost so many people as a country”. Although we lost almost 60,000 men and 150,000 wounded or taken prisoner. After the war the British Government offered ex-servicemen free transportation to some of the colonies, 17,000 migrants arrived in Australia between 1919 and 1922. Community organisations paid for migrants to come over to Australia. Small numbers also arrived independently. It was also said that up to 300,000 men came over from britain post war to live. The British government gave an incentive to migrate over because so many people

Caroline Chrisolm was a great Australian Catholic. She always took action if she saw inequality between people. Many people agreed that if Australia was to have another canonised saint it would be Caroline Chrisolm. Chrisom was born on 30 May 1808, at Northampton in the United Kingdom. Chrisom and her husband Archibald Chisholm first travelled to India in 1832 where she was sent to Madras (present day Chennai) where she founded the education institute for the Daughters of European Soldiers. Soon the Chisholm’s decided to go to Sydney, Australia, they went on the Emerald Isle on the 15th of September 1838 and settled in Winsor with her three sons. Chrisolm met every immigrant that came to Sydney. She helped immigrants and sheltered many of them in her home. In January 1841 she met the Governor and Lady Gipps and the Sydney Herald with a plan for a girls' home. Facing discouragement, she however, convinced Lady Gipps that she was a humanitarian. Chrisolm’s next step was to return to England where she established the Family Colonisation Loan Society. This loan provided money needed by migrant families to travel to Australia. The society also helped the new arrivals in Australia to find jobs. Chrisolm died on the 25 March 1877 at Highgate in the United Kingdom because she was too poor to have any food or survive. Throughout her life Caroline Chrisolm demonstrated a

She lived in inner west as well as Erskinville and St Peters, where she worked mostly in Redfern, which was the centre for Aboriginal politics during 1970’s. She lived with her in laws during her pregnancy in Kempsy on the Northern New South Wales coast. When she went back to Sydney, she recognised that the local hospital was isolated, therefore her husband and daughter returned to Kempsy. Mum Shirl stayed in Sydney where she worked for a short period of time at the local District Hospital. Due to her epilepsy, Mum Shirl was completely precluded from school, which was held by The Erambie Mission Managers wife, who was not professionally qualified for the children at the Mission. Mum Shirl was taking a shelter ‘under The Railway Bridge’ after leaving the Mission. She occasionally attended the St Bridge School, where she attained some education and only learnt alphabets, but unfortunately she could not be taught how to read and write. When Mum Shirl’s daughter Beatrice considered living with her in laws in Kempsy, she thought of seeking employment. It was very hard for her to find permanent employment due to her epilepsy. She was a voluntary worker, where the child welfare department and the police in Newtown relied on her to assist them with Aboriginal community court cases. Because of her support, she was given a small kindness pay. On the other hand, her only source of income was her pension which was

WWII had a large impact on the lives of Australian women. As the men were away from their homes and daily lives fighting overseas, women were employed in jobs, got paid at higher rates than usual, became the important figure in the house and were enrolled in women’s army roles.

Ruth Hegarty’s 1999 autobiography,” Is that you, Ruthie?”, Illuminates the trials and tribulations that were experienced by Aboriginal families under the 1897 Aboriginals Protection and the restriction of the Sale of Opium Bill. “The Act” encouraged Aboriginal Families onto reserves such as Cherbourg which in turn created a sense of entrapment in these camps as well as various Employment blunders that are still being reported on today.

“We may yet live to see that day when women will no longer be news. And it cannot come too soon. I want to be a peaceful, happy, normal human being, pursuing my unimpeded way through life, never having to explain, defend, or apologize for my sex” (Nellie McClung, 1929). Throughout most of history, men have had greater rights than women. In present days, the equality between men and women have improved, despite the fact that some countries are still striving to establish those same rights for both genders. What impact did Nellie McClung make on Canadian society? She is a perfect example of a Canadian social activist who advocated for the rights of women throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In this essay, I will examine the depictions of the fight for suffrage and the stand for electoral office, in addition to the contribution of the Famous 5 and the type of feminism she represented in order to demonstrate the impact and influence she had as a Canadian woman.

During the World War II era, the outlook on the role of women in Australian society revolutionised. As a majority of men were at war, Australian women were encouraged to rise above and beyond their stereotypical ‘housewife’ status. They were required to take on the tasks that were once considered predominantly male roles, and also allowed the opportunity to join the armed services as well as enlist in the Women’s Land Army. Many women who doubted their abilities played their part by entering voluntary work. Women had the privilege of contributing in Australian society in many ways that they had never been able before. Thus, it is manifest that the role of women in Australian society had drastically changed.

Australia’s white colonisation began as a penal colony, which is where the beginnings of modern nursing and health care commenced. With the white people coming to Australia they introduced many illnesses and diseases into the country and with this we saw outbreaks of smallpox, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, influenza, measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough. These diseases caused considerable loss of life among indigenous people.

Before World War 2 commenced, women 's roles in Australia were extremely different to now. The Australian government believed that women were not needed to perform in any sort of military service, however, once the war began it was thought otherwise (Ergo.slv.vic.gov.au, 2015). The roles of women changed significantly during this time, specifically around the 1940 's. The social, political, and economic rights for Australian women were all major changes made during this period of time (Awm.gov.au, 2015). This essay focuses on the role of women before and after these changes occurred, also the affect this made to society.

Noel Pearson’s speech ‘an Australian history for us all’ discusses his approach to trying to solve some of the most systemic problems facing Australian Aboriginals today. The speakers are successful in understanding the ideas and values of the speech. Through the uses of various language techniques and context, Pearson’s speech details the struggles of the relationship between the first European settlers and Aboriginal Australians.

As a result of WW1, Australia’s society became an unbiased environment for Women, because they were given the opportunity to do jobs that had been left empty by men who had gone to fight the Germans. Life for

Australia in the early 1900s has developed a reputation as a ‘working man’s paradise’ for its greater opportunity to success and an egalitarian society. However not all workers proved this to be true. In order to determine this statement, Issues to be discussed include firstly the hours of work for different genders, secondly the working conditions and finally the dispute for the right to fair treatment to women and Aboriginal natives throughout the 19th century.

A courageous promoter and supporter of her Aboriginal background and culture, Cathy Freeman frequently proves and demonstrates to the human race worldwide, with her outrageous determination and willpower, and her extreme talent that natural skill and affection tied with personal cleverness will, and certainly can astound and overcome any amount of prejudgment and preconception towards Australian Aboriginals. Facts and realities like these positively play and carries a big part and fragment, on why Cathy has been chosen and selected to be written in detail about. In this factual essay, features and concepts such as her background information and why she is an inspiring individual will be identified, analyzed and evaluated in this thesis and composition.
