Adventures in Feministory: Margaret Tucker

History post by Kjerstin Johnson on August 27, 2012 - 10:57am; tagged Adventures in Feministory, Australia, indigenous feminism, indigenous rights, Margaret Tucker.
Margaret Tucker in a vestMargaret "Marge" Tucker was a 20th-century Australian Aboriginal activist, organizer, and writer.

Born on the Moonahculla Reservein 1904, Tucker (at the age of 13) and her sister (who was 11) were forcibly separated from their mother and sent to Cootamundra Girls' Home, where they were trained to be domestic workers for two years. She then went to work for little pay for white families, some of whom were abusive. These relocations came courtesy of the Aboriginal Protection Board, where "protection" in this case meant protecting Aboriginal people from themselves—separating families and dictating employment, residence, and education for Aboriginal people.
