Lisa Daniel is joined on Word for Word by Danielle Scrimshaw. Danielle is a writer, historian and big fan of lighthouses. Her 2019 essay ‘Be Gay, Do Crime: Or, the Ballad of Catherine and Ellen’ was shortlisted for the Deakin University Nonfiction Prize.

Her thesis on queer women’s narratives in Australian history – or the lack thereof – was highly commended by the Australian Queer Archives. Last year she was a finalist for Forty South Magazine’s Van Diemen History Prize 2020-2021.

Dani has been published in Voiceworks, Overland, Scum Mag and Archer Magazine.

Her latest and first book She and Her Pretty Friend is a joyous look at the history of lesbian and bisexual women in Australia – from convict times, through suffrage and liberation to today.
