Danielle Scrimshaw
We are thrilled to be hosting the launch of Danielle Scrimshaw's new book, She And Her Pretty Friend, a joyous look at the history of lesbian and bisexual women in Australia – from colonisation to convict times, through suffrage and liberation to today. Throughout history, women’s relationships have been downgraded and diminished. Instead of lovers, they are documented as particularly close friends; the type that made out, worked, lived, and are buried together. Besties, if you will. She and Her Pretty Friend aims to dispel this myth. It is an exploration of women’s relationships through Australian history, each chapter centring on a specific person, couple, or time period.
Danielle will be joined in conversation by Roz Bellamy.
Free to attend, but bookings essential.
