Acknowledgements
Along with Continuum's anonymous reviewers, I thank my colleagues Shannon Dowling, Ali Elder, Mary Holmes, Dee Michell, Rebecca Stringer and Linda Westphalen for reading an early draft of this article. Their astute, friendly criticism and good company were infinitely more sustaining than any lipstick. Thanks also to Tristan Kennedy for the book loan and to Rod Butlin for research (and other) assistance. Last but not least, I extend warm thanks to the many wonderful Women's Studies students at Flinders who constantly inspire and intrigue me.
