- Synopsis
- Helen Garner delves into the causes and effects of police charges pressed against the Master of Ormond College by two female students who claimed he fondled them at a school function. Two overriding questions trouble Ms. Garner throughout her investigations: why did these students choose to go to the police instead of having the matter settled through the school's private arbitration process, and why, when the Master was found innocent of these charges, was he terminated from his position? The First Stone is a call for hard-line feminists to grow up and get conscious. It asks for a new kind of feminism based on the cultivation of an individual's power of self-expression, responsibility, and, indeed, exactly the kind of self-discovery her insightful narrative represents.
