“…These elite ABC producers were members of a global movement of women who used the media as a vehicle for their activism - and their BBC engagements played a key part in their success. There are an increasing number of histories that identify women’s proactive use of media to further their socio-political agendas, including Byerly and Ross (2006), DiCenzo et al (2011), Fisher (2019), Lloyd (2020), Skoog and DiCenzo (2011), and Thumim (2004). In Michele Hilmes’ study of American women in early radio for example, we learn how women were “competing for control over their own voices and venues, vying for the right to speak and be heard by the public at large” (1997: 131–132).…”

This article discusses the important role the BBC played in advancing the careers of ABC women in the post-war era. Adopting an integrated, transnational approach, it revisualises the British broadcasting empire from a dominion perspective, a gendered perspective. This research follows ABC television producers as they undertook transformative, transnational excursions and recognises the necessary mobility, flexibility and ingenuity women activated in order to succeed. It identifies how they exploited the imbalanced dominion dynamic and strategically used their BBC experiences to counteract the compromising gender constraints of their local production environments.

“…1939). The role of radio, in Greenwood's vision, was to rematerialize the activists' networks developed by transnational women's organizations in the postsuffrage era in order to advance world peace (Fisher 2018;Hensley 2006).

This article examines how women's broadcasting promoted consciousness and appreciation of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. These were decades in which Australians had limited access to US news and culture, and Hollywood dominated local imaginings of US society. In this climate, Australians who had lived Stateside were hailed as authorities on the nation and its people, and they often spoke on radio. Among these “America educators” were significant numbers of women. Armed with firsthand knowledge of the wider world, these female travelers could claim space in a broadcasting landscape otherwise dominated by men. Through their radio broadcasts, they aspired to foster transpacific understanding and friendship. Women's broadcasting was therefore a cultural force at the vanguard of Australia's “turn to America.” More than a manifestation of US popular culture, radio depicted the United States as an ally of and model for Australia during an era of entrenched British allegiance.
