    Feminism's fandango with the state revisited: reflections on Australia, feminism, education and change
    Yates, L. ( 1999)
    This article reflects on the achievements, involvements and complexities of feminism's involvement in education change in Australia over the past quarter century. In doing so, it continues a discussion about feminist theory and its relationship to politics and contexts. The article argues that this has been a period in which feminism has made a considerable impact on education, but that these achievements and even the growing wealth of experiences and sophistication of those working for such change have led to a more murky situation. The argument attempts to account for the particular form of Australian feminist work (theorizing as well as other practices) and to identify some of its consequences today.
