Abstract

What is particularly apparent is white feminists' lack of interest in the Stolen Generations, a silence that might have been fractured by exploring material beyond the white feminist archive. As Barrett Meyering reflects: "The feminist agenda of children's liberation was conceived in the context of a larger global youth rebellion against adult authority" (3). Childhood and motherhood are shared human experiences that have been a source of great interest to many feminists and women's liberationists. [Extracted from the article]
