#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Two exceptional Australian women – the poet Gwen Harwood and the colonial entrepreneur Mary Reibey – are explored in these rigorous and lively biographies. Shedding light on the complex social and political dynamics of their subjects’ respective eras, these authors reveal their historical approaches to writing a life – and the ways in which their biographies were both of their time and ahead of it.
