Louisa Lawson's The Dawn, 1888-1905 was the first Australian journal produced entirely by women who actively campaigned for women's rights. Run almost single-handedly by Louisa Lawson, it directly affected the lives of Australian women by promoting changes to female suffrage, women's work conditions and education.

This selection of Louisa Lawson's journalism from the beginning of The Dawn to 1895 contains not only its leading and other major articles but also excerpts from the correspondence columns, as well as an entire section devoted to Louisa's handy household hints. (back cover)
