Elaine Stuart Lindsay (born 1948) is an Australian academic whose work has focussed on literature and feminist theology. She was instrumental in the development of the Women-Church journal which provided publishing opportunities in feminist theology for Australian women.

Early life and education

Elaine Stuart Lindsay was born in 1948 in Adelaide, South Australia. She studied at St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School in Adelaide.

Lindsay has a Bachelor of Arts from Flinders University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Children's Literature from Macquarie University. She has a Post-Graduate Certificate in Higher Education from Australian Catholic University.

She also has a Master of Public Policy, Master of Arts, and PhD from University of Sydney. Her thesis was published as Rewriting God: Spirituality in Contemporary Australian Women's Fiction (2000).

Career

Lindsay began her career as a radio producer, announcer and interviewer. From 1974 to 1978, Lindsay worked as a broadcaster on Radio Adelaide, with a focus on topics related to arts and literature. In 1978, she became the Senior Project Officer for the Literature Board of the Australia Council, a role she held until 1994.

Lindsay taught English Literature at Australian Catholic University between 1996 and 1997. Between 1997 and 2009, she was a program manager for Literature and History for Arts NSW.

From 2009, she was an executive officer at the Australian Catholic University (ACU). In 2011, Lindsay became the research development coordinator in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at ACU. She was appointed as senior lecturer in literature in the Faculty of Education and Arts in 2016. Lindsay retired from teaching in 2021.

Lindsay taught feminist theology at the University of Sydney. She has been an active member of the Movement for the Ordination of Women (MOW) since the late 1980s, including as a member of the Sydney committee and, since 2018, National Secretary. In 2022 she was elected National President of MOW. Lindsay was also co-editor of the Women-Church journal from 1992 to 2007. In 1990 and 1992 Lindsay edited publications based on two national feminist theology conferences, Towards a Feminist Theology and Women Authoring Theology. These conferences were organised by MOW, Women and the Australian Church, Women-Church, and the Feminist Uniting Network.

Lindsay was co-editor of Preachers, Prophets and Heretics which detailed the history of the movement for the ordination of women in the Australian Anglican church. The book was shortlisted for the Australian Christian Book of the Year Awards in 2013. The book has been described as inspiring, a well-presented and significant collection, as well as well-researched and substantiated. Lindsay is praised personally for her introductory chapter which honours Patricia Brennan, the first president of the Movement for the Ordination of Women (MOW).

Lindsay developed the AustLit service reselling books from publishers that were not stocked in bookstores. She has chaired the judging panel for the Voss Literary Prize for the best Australian novel since 2016. Lindsay also co-convened international conferences on Religion, Literature and the Arts at Australian Catholic University with Michael Griffith.
