Join us in conversation with award winning author and historian, Professor Clare Wright OAM as we discuss the inspiring story of the Australian women that won the vote and went on to greatly influence the British campaign for women's suffrage.
Professor Clare Wright is one of Australia's favourite public intellectuals with a genius for writing about our democratic history and some of its most important popular movements. She is an author, broadcaster and public commentator, and an internationally recognised scholar.
She is currently Professor of History and Professor of Public Engagement at La Trobe University and Chair of the National Museum of Australia Council. In 2020, Clare was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours list for 'services to literature and to historical research'. She is the author of five works of history, including the best-selling The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka and You Daughters of Freedom, which comprise the first two instalments of her Democracy Trilogy. Näku Dhäruk: The Bark Petitions is the final instalment of the trilogy and was published in 2024.
Copies of Clare Wright's books will be available for sale at the event for those joining in person. You can also join via the online livestream.
