Many of Australia's first Fabians are known as legislators, priests, jurists, men and women of letters, diplomats, feminists and educators, yet few are recognised as Fabians. Until this book, little attention has been given to Australian Fabian thinkers, activists and organisations, and their long-term influence on Australian political and intellectual life. This book recreates the lives of the first Fabians in Australia, their political ideas and strategies, and presents their visions for society in a lively and entertaining way. It also explores the similarities between the Fabian Society's development in Britain and Australia. The book will fill a long-standing gap in Australian intellectual history and the history of early socialist movements in Australia.

Dass er gleich nach seiner Geburt zur Adoption freigegeben wurde, trifft den vierzehnjährigen Fabian wie ein vernichtender Schlag. Auf seiner nachfolgenden Suche nach seinen wahren Wurzeln, die er mehr oder weniger bewusst betreibt, stößt er durch Zufall auf ein kleines Mädchen, welches behauptet, seine Schwester zu sein. Weil er jedoch davon ausgeht, dass Pias Aussage allein ihrer blühenden Fantasie zu verdanken ist, will er ihre Eröffnung zunächst nicht glauben. Doch schon bald erkennt er, dass die Kleine tatsächlich verborgene Zusammenhänge erspüren, die Gedanken ihrer Mitmenschen entschlüsseln und anhand von Visionen zukünftige Ereignisse voraussagen kann. Als er schließlich feststellt, dass sich einige ihrer übersinnlichen Fähigkeiten auch bei ihm finden lassen, akzeptiert er, dass in ihren Adern durchaus das gleiche Blut fließen könnte.Auf seinem Weg vom Teenager zum erwachsenen, fest im Leben stehenden Mann, muss Fabian hinnehmen, dass ihm ein höchst launisches Schicksal allerlei Schwierigkeiten vor die Füße wirft. Allerdings stehen ihm dabei nicht nur Menschen zur Seite, die es gut mit ihm meinen, sondern auch ein wohlwollender Meister Zufall.

Richard Marsden Pankhurst is an obscure figure, forgotten by history because he has been overshadowed by his dazzling wife, Emmeline, the great leader of the Suffragettes. Yet their partnership as campaigners was a critical element in her development and success. Her reaction to his death in 1898 led to her decision five years later to convene the Women's Social and Political Union, popularly known as the Suffragettes.Richard's intense character and devotion to ideals made him an object of both admiration and derision. He was widely respected as an honest man who put principle before self and party. Yet in worldly terms he was a failure. As a barrister, he should have been able to provide a comfortable home life for his family, but his political extremism hindered success in his career and the family struggled to afford the life to which they aspired. Even as a political campaigner Richard failed in several attempts to enter parliament.Nevertheless his marriage to young and beautiful Emmeline lent him a new glamour and soon resulted in a growing family. He moulded their beliefs and actions, creating a campaigning machine. Women's equality was a significant focus, but so too were the other radical causes they espoused on behalf of the poor, workers, children, and world peace.Emmeline had already begun to take the lead in political activism, due in no small measure to the support of her devoted and unconventional spouse. The startling tactics of the Suffragettes in the early 20th century owed much to the influence of Richard Pankhurst. Later overshadowed by his extraordinary wife and daughters, his memory has been erased, but his story is a vital component in understanding the remarkable Pankhurst women.
