Woollahra Writers Festival - Challenging the Patriarchy

Anna Funder (Wifedom) and Suzie Miller (Prima Facie) are two of Australia’s most exciting and internationally successful writers. In their most recent work, each takes on the patriarchy – Anna by revealing George Orwell’s failings as a husband and putting his brilliant wife, Eileen O’Shaughnessy, back in the picture, and Suzie by exposing a criminal justice system (shaped by men) manifestly unfair to female sexual assault victims. In conversation with the ABC’s Kate Evans from the much-loved Radio National book show, The Bookshelf.
