A Loo of One's Own: Book Launch with Eleri Harris and Sophie McNeill
State Library of WA - Mezzanine
10:30am - 11:00am

Join us for an outrageously hilarious and 100% true story time about toilets and democracy.

In 1943, the first two women were elected to the Australian parliament. Enid Lyons and Dorothy Tangney had very different political views, but they soon discovered they had at least one problem in common: none of the loos for elected officials in Parliament House were marked 'Ladies'.

Award-winning cartoonist Eleri Harris tackles an important moment in Australian history in a humorous and lighthearted way, illuminating themes of equality and accessibility for readers of all ages.

Featuring: Eleri Harris and Sophie McNeill
