<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Welcome</b></span> to the
Women in Fire Fighting Australia- Archives of </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr Merilyn Childs. More an
archive than a Blog, this digital repository aims to share materials I have
collected over time with those interested in the history of female fire
fighters.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Although most of
my time is spent thinking about digital futures, I continue to have interest in
gender and disasters, and in the social histories and industrial experiences of
female fire fighters in Australia.</span></span><br />

under development (March 2013) and, as I do the work in my spare time, creating
this archive is a progress of passion, not time. Please bookmark this site, and
