“Women and motor-cars have destroyed the peace”
I first heard this line two years ago in the middle of the Stuart Highway on #cybernetic #fieldwork.
And an idea was born 💡
What did it mean to be a woman in an age of Federation, colonialism, and new technologies? How were women using technologies like cars and telegraph lines differently to men? How did this impact First Nations women?
