Book Launch
We are thrilled to have Fiona Patten MP will launch Barbara Minchinton's The Women of Little Lon. This book is a vivid account of a remarkable but little-known chapter in Melbourne’s history.
Sex workers in nineteenth-century Melbourne were judged morally corrupt by the respectable world around them. But theirs was a thriving trade, with links to the police and political leaders of the day, and the leading brothels were usually managed by women.
