I am grateful to Sue Wills for pointing out that the latter source suggests that Stevens’ recollection, while reportedly referring to the 1973 Women's Commission, probably refers to the 1974 Commission. See Sydney Women's Commission (1973, 1974 Sydney Women's Commission . March 1974 . Transcript. The first ten years of Sydney Women's Liberation Collection, Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW .

Wertheim had helped to found the Brisbane Women's Centre (Refuge). 4. For more information, see Dobash and Dobash (1992, 112–42); Elizabeth Pleck (1987 Pleck , Elizabeth . 1987 .
