| description | There is a substantial body of historical scholarly work which engages with women and war. Less attention, however, has been given to the representation of women as part of Anzac Day practice and mythology.

Despite the remarkable growth in popularity of the day, especially the dawn service as a popular and official spectacle of nation, there is an ongoing marginalisation, if not silencing, of the diversity of women’s experiences of and contributions to Anzac. |
