{{Use dmy dates|date=November 2016}}{{Use Australian English|date=November 2016}}Elizabeth Moulton Eggleston (6 November 1934 – 24 March 1976[1]) was an Australian activist, author, lawyer and champion for Indigenous Australians.[1][2] She was described as a "gentle and unassuming" woman.[4]

Eggleston was born in Armadale, Melbourne to Sir Richard Moulton Eggleston, a barrister and later judge who became chancellor of Monash University[3] and Isabel Marjorie, a mathematics teacher.[4]

Eggleston died in East Melbourne where her Indigenous Australian friends sang at her memorial service.[3] She is buried in Brighton Cemetery.[4]

Education

Eggleston attended the Presbyterian Ladies' College and Tintern Church of England Girls' Grammar School.[4]

In 1956 Eggleston graduated with an LL.B degree from the University of Melbourne with second-class honors (division B).[1] In 1958 she graduated with an LL.M. degree from the University of California at Berkeley, and in 1964 she finished an arts degree at the University of Melbourne.[1] In 1964 she became the first doctoral candidate in the faculty of law at Monash University, from which she obtained her Ph.D. in 1970; she wrote her thesis on Aborigines and the administration of justice.[1]

During her studies, Eggleston was an active member of the Australian Student Christian Movement, Students' Representative Council, legal-aid volunteer and worked for the legal journal, Res Judicatae.[3]

Contributions to the Australian Indigenous community

In 1969 Eggleston became a lecturer in the faculty of law at Monash University, and after two years she was promoted to senior lecturer.[1] After 1971 she also served as part-time director of Monash's Centre for Research into Aboriginal Affairs.[1] During her time as director, she established a course titled, Black Australian Studies and provided resources to Aboriginal groups.[5]

In 1972 she became a founder of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service.[1] In founding the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, Eggleston conducted discussions with Aborigines in Pentridge prison and advised Aboriginal communities.[5] She also pursued discrimination and made submissions to government inquiries.[5] Eggleston was actively involved in trying to address Aboriginal land rights and cultural heritage.[5]

In 1972-1973 she had study leave in North America where she did research into Indian communities.[1] Her visit to the Navajo Indian country inspired her to write her thesis on Aboriginals and the administration of justice.[5] This led to her conducting research in Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia.[5]

The Elizabeth Eggleston Memorial collection

The Elizabeth Eggleston Memorial Collection is located in the Koorie Research Unit of the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre.[6] The collection was named after Eggleston due to her role as a former director of the then Centre for Research into Aboriginal Studies and her renown as the premiere expert of Aborigines and the law.[6]

Eggleston donated her collection of books, papers and various materials to the Centre.[6] The collection currently holds over 5000 materials relating to Aboriginal affairs.[6] The library is currently accessible at the Monash Clayton campus, Menzies Building 11.[6]

Published Work

In 1973 she co-authored Cases and Materials on Industrial Law in Australia.[1]

Two months before she died her book Fear, Favour or Affection was published, in 1976; it was based on her doctoral thesis.[1] Reviewers praised it for bringing to light systemic discrimination against Aborigines in the administering of criminal justice.[1]
