Women, War, and the Violence of History

An Australian Perspective

SUSANNE DAVIES

La Trobe University

This article examines the construction, enactment, and implications of Anzac mythology in the shaping of Australian history and gendered relations. This distinctively Australian mythology, it is argued, has privileged a particular male perspective of war and has thus contributed to a dominant understanding of the past that valorizes militarism and masculinity and reinforces dichotomous conceptions of sex and race. The exclusion of women's experiences of war via the Anzac mythology is explored. Finally, the different strategies adopted by feminist activists in recent years to challenge this silencing are detailed and evaluated.
