“Women of Ill Repute”: Flash Brothels & the Digital Age—A Lively In-Conversation with Award-Winning Authors Madeleine Cleary & Anne Freeman
Anne Freeman
What do the brothels of 1860s Melbourne have in common with online sex work in 2025? Join Madeleine Cleary (The Butterfly Women) and Anne Freeman (Me That You See) for a lively conversation that explores the now and then of sex work, feminism, crime, and agency.
Come for the scandal, stay for the sisterhood. This is the kind of conversation that will linger long after the final question.
Entry price includes a copy of either of the featured books (or a $30 gift voucher), wine & cheese.
