Let's talk about ... sex!

Pride, Prejudice and 21st Century Women

a Living Library Event at Pearl Cove Library

Monday 8 March 2021 - 5pm to 8pm

Includes light refreshments.

Free event but bookings essential. 

This is a 16+ event.

The "weaker" sex has never been stronger, but the road to gender equality and acceptance still has some distance to travel.

Join us on that journey when this year, on International Women's Day, Pearl Cove Library invites you to be a part of our first  Human Living Library event  to celebrate women’s political, social and personal accomplishments, but also to raise awareness of the prejudices and discrimination they face. 

Join us and "borrow" a "human book". Don't miss the opportunity to meet some fascinating and diverse people, ask them questions and hear their stories in the cosy, casual atmosphere of Pearl Cove Room. Our "human books" list includes, among others, Katherine Cummings -  librarian, award-winning author and activist for transgender people’s rights in Australia - and Professor Ngiare Brown - one of the first Aboriginal doctors in Australia.
