Today, we remember the incredible social reforms initiated by the Whitlam Government. We've listed a bunch of them over at this blog post.

But here at f*this we're nothing if not old school feminists. Therefore we're celebrating the amazing reforms that made significant changes to women's lives.

The most significant of these, in our view, were the introduction of the single mothers' benefit and no-fault divorce. This duo of reforms allowed women to make choices and decisions about their own futures. To choose to leave abusive relationships and still be able to feed their children and to leave their husband knowing that he could no longer use agreeing to a divorce as method of control.

This version of the design is printed on the AS Colour Maple tee.

In honour of these life-changing reforms, donations from our 50th anniversary Gough tee will go to the Women's Legal Service Victoria.
