In that same five decades, feminist activism, including campaigns for abortion rights, the reform of family law, and forms of welfare to support survivors of domestic violence, has similarly remade the rights and entitlements of Australian women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut has that story been one of continual progress and success?
