Girls!

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day. It’s also the Centenary of Women’s Suffrage in Victoria. Hurrah!

To celebrate, we’re eating purple, green and white cupcakes, and taking bookings for our all-girl superstar book event…

It’s Different For Girls*

This special program brings together four of Australia’s leading writers: JC Burke, Sue Lawson, Julia Lawrinson and Maureen McCarthy, and also features scenes performed from some of their books. These writers place the lives of women and girls at the heart of their stories. Highly recommended for girls, and guys are welcome too, of course.

9:30-11:30am or 12:45-2:45pm
Village Roadshow Theatrette, State Library of Victoria

$7 per student.

To book, call 8664 7555 of email.

*there’s a free copy of Meme McDonald’s Love Like Water to the first person who can tell me where we got that title from…

    Assuming that it’s a reference to a book, I think there was a UK novel about a couple of teenage girls 2-3 years back by Jo Brand. If not, the best I can think of is the Joe Jackson song with that title.

    the site that brought us ‘lol cats’
