Author Talk - Women of a Certain Courage
Join Bron Bateman, editor of Women of a Certain Courage, in a panel discussion with three of the book's contributing authors; Annamaria Weldon, Shannon Meyerkort and Natalie Damjanovich-Napoleon.
International Women's Day is on the 8th of March, and the 2025 theme of "March Forward" reminds us that progress is not just about reflection but about taking decisive, bold steps to turn our commitments into action.
Join us at Subiaco Library for this uplifting panel discussion which will have you reflecting on your own moment of courage, and what courage means to you.
