From online identity and sexual autonomy to motherhood, secrecy, desire, and self-preservation, their work examines what happens when women step outside expectations and claim space for themselves.Drawing on Anne’s Me That You See, alongside Kylie’s The Eleventh Floor, this conversation will explore:How women’s stories challenge cultural normsThe emotional labour women carry, often invisiblyThe cost of silence and the power of speakingWhy complexity in women characters still mattersHow fiction can illuminate truths we struggle to articulateHonest, sharp, and darkly funny, this discussion invites audiences to reflect on what it really means to “balance the scales”, in our lives, relationships, and the stories we tell.Free, bookings essential.Tickets - Tickets are required for everyone attending this event.Branch Information - If you require further information regarding this event or require assistance booking your tickets, please phone Mornington Peninsula Shire Library on (03) 5950 1820.__________________________________________Further Information -If you need to cancel your booking, please log into your Eventbrite account, or contact your library branch.
