Walk in Wisdom Newsletter − Issue 2, Semester 1, 2010
This year marks the 40 year anniversary of the publication of Germaine Greer’s key publication The Female Eunuch. Her achievements were recently summarised in the Sydney Morning Herald: "she incited a generation of women to ponder the significance of their lives… she encouraged women to think beyond their social conditioning… she pointed the finger at the prevailing culture of sexual harassment… she urged women to study, to become doctors, pilots and even fashion designers."

Sculptor changed face of public art: Tom Bass, 1916–2010
Malcom Brown, Sydney Morning Herald, 9 March 2010
Australian art might have been a little different today had a small boy not become fixated on the operations of a blacksmith's shop in Gundagai in 1925. The pile of old horseshoes thrown out at the back of the shop became, to Tom Bass, a totem - something more than its component parts... Over 25 years Bass created 60 major sculptures, including Ethos, a six-metre winged figure in Canberra representing the spirit of the community, the Lintel Sculpture at the National Library, a 23-metre work expressing archival and intellectual values, The Student, at the main gates of the University of Sydney, The Arts and the Sciences, in the niches of its Great Hall, and the Votive Figure of the Sacred Heart at Sancta Sophia College in Sydney.
