QUESTION: 1974 battered women's shelters in Australia?

question / pregunta: 

In reviewing the life of Anne Summers, one of the members of Women's Liberation in Sydney, Australia, journalist Anna Reynolds states that Elsie (which Summers helped establish from a formerly-abandoned house in 1974) was the first battered women's shelter in Australia.

In 1974, members of the Women's Liberation Movement in Melbourne established the Halfway House, a shelter for battered women and their children.

How can I verify whether Elsie was indeed Australia's first battered women's shelter or whether Halfway House (or another shelter) was already in existence by the time Summers and her fellow Women Libbers opened Elsie?

QUESTION: Prison Library Systems and Statistics

question / pregunta: 

I'm doing a research project for school and am hoping to become an activist/volunteer in the area of prison libraries. For the topic of my research, I'm hoping to find a direct correlation between the existence of prison libraries with the rehabilitation period for incarcerated people. I'm having trouble finding such specific information. My questions are: 1. Are there any sources (demographic, statistical) that are devoted specifically to this project? and 2. Is there anyone with first-hand experience in this area that could share points of view or personal stories?

QUESTION: Affects of testosterone on transitioning men

question / pregunta: 

I'm enrolled in a health class and I've asked my teacher questions about transitioning males and the affects of testosterone on their body, especially considering that estrogen seems to have a protective effect on female bodies. I haven't gotten a straight answer. Particularly, I'm wondering if testosterone makes someone who is transitioning more susceptible to osteoporous and heart disease. It would be great to get this information from a source that has trans people's interests at heart.
