3rd December is the 159th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade.
Are those of our foremothers who were on the goldfields to be remembered just as token 'them' who were 'assisted to find a job' as the Australian Government website on Eureka states?
Are not we 'the people' too?

Dear All,
3rd December is the 159th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade.
Are those of our foremothers who were on the goldfields to be remembered just as token 'them' who were 'assisted to find a job' as the Australian Government website on Eureka states?
Are not we 'the people' too?
I think it is outrageous, so have been busy compiling a response.
I hope you like and find good use for EUREKA? We Were There.

It is on a new page called Eureka on www.womensweb.com.au Eureka page.
I hope you have a joyful and relaxing holiday season,
Geraldine

A wonderful look at women at Eureka
Beautifully illustrated.
Insightful poems.
Postscript:
Women are still at Eureka.
This year the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E.) opened in Ballarat on the historic Eureka site. It is a wonderful small museum. It is not limited to the Eureka story and the events surrounding Australia's famous rebellion.
As well as Eureka, M.A.D.E. also centres on social justice, democracy, and human rights which topics were seminal to the idea of the Eureka Rebellion even if they were not fully articulated at the time. These ideas took hold in the Australian psyche through workers rights, universal suffrage, and a fair go for everyone. And a woman is in charge at M.A.D.E.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
