Rosemary Cadden has worked as a journalist, media adviser and PR consultant with a special interest in environmental issues and history.
Since arriving in Australia in 1975, history has been a constant thread in her work and projects. She wrote and narrated a weekly segment for Adelaide University radio (then 5UV) called ‘100 Years Ago in South Australia’ and was a History Writer for the Advertiser in the 80s. In 1994 she worked for the Women's Suffrage Centenary Secretariat; much of that work is available on the State Library of SA website, including the article ‘The Three Waves of Feminism’. In 2009 she was commissioned to write Building South Australia to mark 125 years of the Master Builders Association in the state. Chapters include the 1920s story of the Colonel Light Gardens suburb, now a State Heritage area, and the post-war heyday of the SA Housing Trust. It was when Rosemary worked for Aboriginal organisations in South Australia and the Northern Territory in the 1990s that she was drawn to explore the effects of settler colonisation.
