A decision was made to interview the women and men separately to test our hypothesis that there would be gender issues in any analysis of a disaster, but particularly one which has had so much long-term impact on individuals, families and communities, such as drought. Interviews were conducted with over 100 individuals male and female. We conclude that drought as a disaster is a gendered experience. The paper draws on the narratives of some women involved in the study to identify `themes of difference' which confirm the necessity to maintain gender as a variable in all studies of the social impacts of disaster. - Reproduced Drought - Australia Women - Australia Drought Gray, Ian Lawrence, Geoffrey Disasters 44800 44800 44800 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 24, Issue no: 1 AR45213 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
