Many, perhaps most, 21st-century Australians believe that a phenomenon known as 'the Australian character' was forged amid the carnage and chaos of Gallipoli in 1915 and 1916. How accurate is this myth? What is the actual relationship between Gallipoli and the ideals of Australian manhood celebrated to this day in film, sport and popular memory? In episode 2 of Making Sense of Anzac, Nick Eckstein and Brad Manera talk about how the historical significance of the Anzac legend has changed in over a century. And they introduce a group who should have been part of the story since the beginning: women.
