AF Live @ SWF: Strong Female Lead

Special live episode from Sydney Writers’ Festival! Yves and Clare are joined by literary biographer Bernadette Brennan and documentary filmmaker Tosca Looby, who have recently documented the life and times of two of the most influential women in Australian history, to learn how the archive shapes and limits the stories we tell about powerful women. How does the archive shape and limit the stories we tell about powerful women? What does it feel like to be immersed in the life of someone else? And what does it mean to celebrate powerful women when Australia is still in many ways a man’s country?
