Professor Lake, who takes up the chair at Harvard later this year, says that a number of recent histories of the nation and federation, such as those by Bob Birrell and Paul Kelly, have 'ignored the important part played by women as shapers of the nation'. Taking Faith Bandler's remark, 'Tell the world there's only one Australian, and his colour doesn't matter at all,' as her text, Professor Lake argues that co-operation among women leaders from various racial backgrounds produced a more inclusive sense of Australian nationhood, which triumphed in the passing of the 1967 referendum. Professor Lake explored some of the issues raised in the coming lecture in an essay on 'Race and gender in the imagined Australian community,' published last year.
