Julie Kun from Wire (Womens’ Information Referral Exchange) is in the studio to tell Lauren and Sonja about the support that her organisation can provide to women who need information and referrals when finding employment and housing. If you’re experiencing or are at risk of homelessness or domestic violence you can visit the Amica Club at Wire on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and call the Wire hotline on 1300 134 130.
Sonja interviews Lucy Lawless, who we all know and love for her role as Xena, Warrior Princess. Lucy talks about activism, her influences as a feminist, the roles available to women in film and television, and how that’s changed throughout her acting career.
Lauren shares the BROADcast news including a tribute to the victims of the Orlando massacre.
Sonja also interviews Shirleene Robinson, one of the co-authors of Gay & Lesbian, Then and Now: Australian stories from a social revolution. The book looks at the lives of ordinary LGBT people throughout Australia’s history.
And in honour of the Queen’s Birthday, this week’s ‘Bad Bitches of History’ are Queen Christina of Sweden, Cleopatra VII Philopator, Queen Elizabeth I, Empress Wu Zeitan, Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi, Queen Boudica, and Queen Liliuokalani. That’s plenty of reading material about some kickass female historical figures!
