Talk - Let's Talk About Louisa Lawson: More than Henry's Mother
Join us for an exclusive conversation between Michelle Scott Tucker, author and current State Library of NSW Visiting scholar with Rachel Franks, historian and coordinator at the State Library of NSW as they discuss Michelle’s latest project an ambitious biography of Louisa Lawson.
Known for her groundbreaking work with ""The Dawn"", the first Australian journal produced solely by women, Louisa Lawson provided a powerful platform for women's voices and tirelessly championed their rights.
Together we will explore Louisa’s enduring contributions to the suffrage movement, her literary achievements, and her unwavering commitment to social justice, the ripples of which continue today.
