Making Sneaky Little Revolutions: Charmian Clift’s Journalism

Sydney Lyceum Club Lunch, Members and their guests

Charmian Clift published three novels and two travel books, but it was her journalism that made her a household name in Austraia. These ‘sneaky little revolutions’, as the author once called the pieces she wrote for her weekly newspaper column, had a transformative effect on their readers. This talk will look at Clift’s column in the context of the secondary status assigned to woman’s journalism in the 1960s.

Lunch open to Lyceum Club members and their guests.
