Join us for a special dinner to celebrate the 100th anniversary of 8 million women being granted the right to vote in the United Kingdom.

Genevieve Jacobs will lead historians Dr Béatrice Bijon and Dr Clare Wright in a discussion on women’s suffrage in Australia and the UK, followed by a curator-led tour of the Deeds not Words exhibition which showcases the collection of Bessie Rischbieth, an Australian witness to the campaign for women’s suffrage in the United Kingdom.

Enjoy champagne and canapés on arrival overlooking beautiful Lake Burley Griffin, two courses and local wines in the stunning Library foyer.
