Kathleen McArthur (1915 – 2000)[1] was an Australian naturalist, writer, botanical illustrator and conservationist. She was born in Brisbane, Queensland, to Catherine and Daniel Evans. Her mother was a daughter of the Durack pastoral family, her father a co-founder of the engineering firm Evans Deakin and Company. She married Malcolm McArthur in 1938 and had three children before divorcing in 1947. From 1942, she lived at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.[2]

Environmental activist

McArthur was a strong environmentalist and a co-founder, with Judith Wright, David Fleay and Brian Clouston, of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland in 1962,[3] and served as vice-president from then until 1965. In 1963, she founded the Caloundra branch of the society.

She was involved in several campaigns during the 1960s and 1970s to preserve landscapes threatened by economic development, including the Pumicestone Passage, the Great Barrier Reef and the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park. Much campaign work was funded through her growing and selling native plants as well as through exhibitions of her wildflower paintings. She was especially concerned for the Wallum country of South East Queensland, a habitat characterised by floristically rich coastal heath and swamps on deep sandy soils.

The spider, Ozicrypta mcarthurae, was named after her for her outstanding contribution to conservation. In 1996, she was awarded an honorary doctorate by James Cook University of North Queensland.[4]

Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park in Currimundi, Queensland is named after her.[3]

Writing

McArthur wrote a weekly column, "Wildlife and Landscape", for her local paper. She also started the Lunch Hour Theatre in Caloundra, a monthly event for which she wrote scripts based on environmental, biographical and historical subjects. Books authored (and illustrated) by McArthur include:

  • 1959 – Queensland Wildflowers – A Selection. Jacaranda Press: Brisbane.
  • 1978 – Pumicestone Passage: A Living Waterway. Bacchus Printing: Brisbane.
  • 1981 – Bread and Dripping Days: An Australian Growing Up in the 20s. Kangaroo Press: Kenthurst.

History of removal of leg and underarm hair in the United States

At the outset of the United States, leg and underarm hair removal was not a common practice for women.[1][2][3] In fact, body hair had been viewed as a boon by Caucasian people,[2] and therefore removal was not an imported practice from European settlers into the United States.[1] The removal of armpit and leg hair by American women became a new practice in the early 20th century due to a confluence of multiple factors. One cultural change was the defi...
