Frank and Fearless

Friday, July 26, 2019, 7:30 – 8:30pm Take a journey through the life of a true trailblazing Queensland woman, Merle Thornton, an Australian feminist activist, author and academic. Merle made history when she and Rosalie Bogner famously chained themselves to a bar rail to protest the exclusion of serving women in public bars. At the vanguard of the equalist movement in Australia, whilst rearing her four children in the 50s, Merle helped establish the very first Women’s Studies course at The University of Queensland in 1973 and founded the Equal Opportunities for Women Association in Brisbane.
