N2  - This collection of essays explores objects that changed Australian women's lives through their association with women's liberation, the Australian women's movement, and feminism since 1970. Each essay hinges on a particular object that is remembered for its symbolic value and practical use as an object of liberation, ranging from overalls and gestetners, to seasponges and kombis. It combines personal narrative, historical analysis, and memoir, creating a highly readable collection and a novel way of documenting, historicising the Australian women's movement. The contributors include high profile women and grass roots activists, academics and writers, and everyday women living the ideas of liberation and feminism from a range of locations. Things that Liberate is an experiment in thinking about the ways in which social movements can be documented and studied through material culture and memory
