World War 2 had recently ended and although women contributed to the war effort, they were still expected to return home as housewives. Opportunities for women to be well educated and find success in high level jobs such as becoming a lawyer or a doctor were unlikely, as there was little point in continuing onto further tertiary studies because they would only go on to marry and have children and no longer contribute to the workforce.

After fleeing her abusive husband to a women’s refuge, Alice was not able to access free legal aid as it was means tested and she partly owned her marital property, which her husband refused to sell. Unfortunately, such circumstances are not uncommon, with the Australian Law Reform Commission estimating that 46% of women living in refuges are unable to access legal representation.
