In partnership with Sisters in Crime
Join us to celebrate the launch of Lucy Sussex and Megan Brown's Outrageous Fortunes: The Adventures of Mary Fortune, Crime-writer, and Her Criminal Son George.
When Mary Fortune arrived in Melbourne with her infant son in 1855, she was determined to reinvent herself. The Victorian goldfields were just the place. After a time selling sly-grog and a bigamous marriage to a policeman, Mary became a pioneering journalist and author.
Philomena Horsley will do the launching honours. horsley is a long-time member of Sisters in Crime, a Davitt Awards Judge, and a Scarlet Stiletto trophy winner. She is also a medical anthropologist with expertise in autopsies, death and dying; family and domestic violence; and women’s health.
Free, but bookings are essential.
