Lilith is a fully refereed academic journal based in the History Department at the University of Melbourne. Since the early 1980s, Lilith has provided a valuable forum for new and established scholars to present research in feminist history. The journal is published annually in November and includes a substantial book review section. The editorial board is currently seeking articles for Edition 17.

We warmly welcome all submissions based on substantial and original historical work focussed around women, gender, sexuality and other related issues. We encourage contributions from both new and established scholars in these fields, as well as postgraduates. Submissions considered for publication are assessed via a double-blind peer review process.

Following last year’s symposium we particularly welcome papers around the theme Her-story: Histories of Feminist Representation. We encourage histories of representations of feminism in mainstream media and academia as well as histories of counter- and sub-cultural representations of feminism. This may include film, television, radio, theatre, visual art and written texts.

All submissions should be around 6,000 words in length, including endnotes, and accompanied by abstracts of around 150 words. We hope to receive all submissions by 23 May. Please ensure manuscripts adhere to our style guide, available from www.history.unimelb.edu.au/lilith
