What is the Feminist Writers Festival? It’s a special festival for writers and readers to connect and strengthen the diverse writing communities that exist in Australia,offering a safe space for feminist writers and readers.

Sonja got to share her interview with Cherie Currie the original lead singer from the very first teenage rock band from America: The Runaways.

Cherie Currie SHIMMER 1

‘The singer of teen proto-punk female rock band The Runaways, which also starred Joan Jett as its guitarist, had been raped by her sister’s ex-boyfriend, harassed and abused by their manager, scored a hit with Cherry Bomb and kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a crazed fan.

When she left the band two years after being plucked out of a club to front the group at 15, Currie was a casualty of the adult world of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll.’ From an article published by news.com.au.

Lauren gives us the feminist Broadcast News for the week and Maria Lewis presents another Bad Bitches of History this week about Zoologist and icon Diane Fossey.
