‘The Battle is On’ — Charmian Clift’s Feminism — Talk at Jessie Street Library Sydney

  • Customs House 31 Alfred Street Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia (map)

Charmian Clift titled one of her newspaper columns ‘Second Class Citizens’. She began ‘I am one too,’ and went on to say, ‘The battle is on’. Through the transformative latter years of the 1960s, Clift’s weekly ‘pieces’ enlightened and encouraged thousands of middle aged women who were just beginning to join the struggle. This talk by Clift’s biographer will explore Clift’s feminism through her life, her essays and her memoir of her time of Kalymnos, Mermaid Singing.
