To round out Women's History Month, we're sharing a excerpt from Patricia Karvelas' powerful speech at the Library's 'International Women's Week: women's voices from the past' celebration in March.

A journalist and broadcaster, Patricia emphasises the importance of elevating all women's voices, and shares two novels which have had a profound impact on her.
