Author talk and dinner

June 21, 2013 | 12:00 am

‘Remarkable and highly readable.’ – Michael Kirby

In this highly readable social history, Frank Bongiorno uses striking examples to chart the changing sex lives of Australians. He shows how an overwhelmingly male penal colony gave rise to a rough and ready culture: the scarcity of women made for strange bedfellows, and the female minority was both powerful and vulnerable.

Enjoy a glass of champagne upon arrival, the comfort of a hearty winter meal and enjoy a lively conversation with author and associate professor of history at the Australian National University Frank Bongiorno

Frank Bongiorno is associate professor of history at the Australian National University and the co-author of A Little History of the Australian Labor Party (2011). He was the London correspondent for Inside Story and has been a regular contribu¬tor to the Canberra Times.

02 4934 9859 or via email artgallery@nullmaitland.nsw.gov.au or by popping in to the art gallery by Thursday 20 May 2013, 5pm for bookings.
