Dale SpenderAM (22 September 1943 – 21 November 2023) was an Australian feminist scholar, teacher, writer and consultant. In 1983, Dale Spender was co-founder of and editorial advisor to Pandora Press, the first of the feminist imprints devoted solely to non-fiction,[1] committed, according to The New York Times, to showing that "women were the mothers of the novel and that any other version of its origin is but a myth of male creation".[2] She was the series editor of Penguin's Australian Women's Library from 1987.[3] Spender's work is "a major contribution to the recovery of women writers and theorists and to the documentation of the continuity of feminist activism and thought".[4]
In the 1996 Australia Day honours, Spender was appointed Member of the Order of Australia "for service to the community as a writer and researcher in the field of equality of opportunity and equal status for women".[5]
