'Catherine Fisher's Sound Citizens: Australian Women Broadcasters Claim their Voice, 1923-1956 (2021) examines the history of women's broadcasting from the introduction of radio in 1923 to the introduction of television in 1956. During this time, women broadcasters made a major contribution to women's empowerment, and literally and figuratively gave Australian women a public voice. Fisher utilises textual evidence in the form of radio periodicals, scripts, and institutional and personal correspondence to trace the impact of radio in connecting the private sphere of the home with public and international affairs. Her research presents the experiences of professional women broadcasters, female activists and politicians who used radio as a platform for education, community building and advocacy.' (Introduction)
