Exclusive Event - Madeleine Cleary & Belinda Alexandra
About
Sex Workers and Spies: Writing Women Back into HistoryWhether in the brothels in the back slums of early colonial Melbourne, navigating the covert world of wartime espionage, or reckoning with trauma in post-war Sydney, women were everywhere, and yet nowhere.
Join Belinda Alexandra (The Masterpiece) and Madeleine Cleary (The Butterfly Women) in an illuminating discussion about brushing off the cobwebs of history and bringing archival recovery into the mainstream. Gold-rush era Melbourne and post-war Sydney were times of upheaval and social change, but the stories of the women who lived through them have too often remained in the shadows. What can we learn from these bold, silenced (and sometimes scandalous) voices of the past?
Raise a glass with us to the women that history tried to forget!
Join us for this in conversation with Madeleine & Belinda, followed by Q&A. Their latest books will be available to purchase on the night.
Incl arrival drink and shared grazing!
