Illuminating Women Series: Talk #3 Dr Annette Gero
About
Join us for a fascinating talk with Dr Annette Gero, internationally recognised quilt historian, collector, & author. She has spent decades uncovering the hidden stories within quilts—of women’s lives, resilience & creativity from convict times to the 1950s. Her acclaimed collection, especially of military quilts, has been exhibited worldwide & earned her a fellowship with the Royal Society of London.As a UNSW professor of parasitic drug design, she led pioneering research into anti-malarial treatments (collaborating with WHO & the American Army). The only woman in her department, she forged a path in science with the same passion & drive she brought to quilt history.
In this engaging talk, Annette asks: do our genes or jeans shape our lives? Is it biology, gender, upbringing—or personal drive—that defines our path?
Don’t miss this thought-provoking story of a life stitched from two extraordinary threads.
Annette's books will be for sale.
