"The first consciousness, a female-centred one, brought the first humanising forces in the evolution of the species. The second consciousness, that of patriarchy, transformed it and gave man fantastic power to build and destroy but finally to destroy himself.

Alice Letitia Swan was the daughter of Edward Swan (tinsmith and plumber at Orbost) and Emma Dinah Jefferson. Alice married Herman Oswald (Ossie) Wehner (blacksmith, Orbost) on 4-4-1923. She was born in 1899 in Omeo and died 14-6-1979, aged 80 in Orbost.(info. from John Phillips)These are early 20th century examples of English women's magazines. They give practical advice on needlework and they evidence the widespread interest in contemporary fashion. In doing so they show what were the fashionable, but broadly affordable, women's and children's clothing styles of their day. These magazines also reflect women's interests in fiction at that time.Two magazines, titled The Lady's Companion. 2424.1 was printed on 21.1.1911 and cost one penny. 2424.2 is dated 25.11.1916 and is titled Leach's Lady's Companion and has a pink cover.

Even into the 1920s, women had to request dedicated swimming times for instruction. ...This document highlights the historical and community significance of swimming pools in Bendigo, focusing on personal stories, community efforts, and social change: Items belonging to Olympic champion Faith Leech, such as her dressing gown and Olympic torch, are displayed to honor her achievements and inspire others. Family members and local historians emphasize the determination and impact of local swimming figures. The push for modern, Olympic-size pools in Bendigo was inspired by the 1956 Olympic Games. While government grants supported pool construction, significant fundraising was done by local residents, who contributed £17,500—a major portion of the total cost. Fundraising was competitive, with community members recognized for their efforts (e.g., being crowned "Queen of the Pool"). Early advocacy for pools began in the 1880s, with Golden Square residents lobbying for their own facility. Golden Square's pool, opened in 1918, was the first in Bendigo to allow mixed-gender swimming. The Bendigo Municipal Pool only permitted mixed bathing after its late 1950s reopening, reflecting broader social changes. Even into the 1920s, women had to request dedicated swimming times for instruction. Learning to swim was vital for safety, especially due to the risk of drowning in mining dams during early settlement. Local newspapers published swimming instructions, and community members shared stories about learning to swim. The document promotes an exhibition and encourages visitors to record their own pool-related memories, which will be shared at a community event called 'Stories from the Pool.'Article from the Bendigo Advertiser - Swimming pools in Bendigo Sat Nov 26 2017 Pictures Mark Kearney This item contains the following documents: 3486.53a Kay MacGregor and Vivien Newton hold the original petition from the Golden Square residents 3486.53b Faith Leech's dressing gown is among other belongings from the Olympic champion to go on show 3486.53c Article on swimming pools in Bendigo from the Advertiserbendigo, swimming pools in bendigo -
