Mending Matters
An anthology of reflections and flights of fantasy prompted by 100 years of women’s suffrage
Edited by Katherine Lyall-Watson
Mending Matters is an anthology of women’s writing honoring the women of Queensland – past, present and future. It is about speaking out, being heard and being acknowledged.
Produced by the State Library of Queensland in partnership with Queensland Writers Centre, it features essays that examine women’s experiences in love, birth, politics and freedom from the perspective of five different women such as Deputy Premier Anna Bligh, former Deputy Premier Joan Sheldon, Nadine McDonald-Dowd, Mary-Rose MacColl and Kris Olsson.
Along side the essays are beautiful images of the suffrage movement found in the State Library of Queensland’s John Oxley Library as well as thoughts from today’s women imagining our lives in 50 years time.
The book is available in the Library shop
