Bendigo Writers Festival: Not Then, Not Now, Not Ever with Frank Bongiorno

How have the past six decades of feminist activism shaped Australian politics? Who are the rebels, ratbags and renegades behind the revolution? What was it about the 1970s that made so-called women’s issues election issues? Why did it take another forty years from Gough Whitlam’s It’s Time speech for Julia Gillard’s Misogyny Speech to land with such paradigm-shifting force? An historian, an ex-politician join Michelle Ryan from the Global Institute of Women’s Leadership to reflect on how the personal became political, and what happens when politics becomes personal, with host Frank Bongiorno.
