Funded Activity Summary

A history of Australian businesswomen since 1880. This project aims to produce a substantive history of Australian female small business owners since 1880. It will introduce new methodologies and directions to business and feminist history and engage in global conversations about historical female entrepreneurship. The project seeks to provide new knowledge about the gendered nature of economic, legal and networking structures and how they have impeded or supported female participation in small business; it will trace representations of businesswomen over time. The project expects to enable broader, socially-embedded and historically-informed understandings of how gender has operated in business, and contribute to current debates about gender, diversity and small business.
