Author Description

<p>When Julia GillardÑa woman who was unmarried, childless, and an atheistÑbecame AustraliaÕs first female prime minister after the 2010 election, opposition leader Tony Abbott was left boiling with rage. It was bad enough that he had lost, but to have lost to a woman was shameful. This strong feminist critique of Tony Abbot goes beyond his boyish grin and easy charm to expose a man who has no respect or tolerance for the social changes that women have fought so hard to achieve. Arguing that recent changes to the traditional male order are aberrations in AbbotÕs opinion, this account demonstrates how Abbott aimed all of his political energy to demolish Julia Gillard and the government in order to lead his country back to Òthe proper order of things.Ó</p>
