What does it mean to be a mum?
Mother's Day is more than a box of Roses chocolates. It can be tricky for anyone who has lost a mum or who might have wished to have children but not had the opportunity. Every day, women play key roles in their broader communities, as friends, neighbours, role models, leaders and educators. Melbourne author and writing lecturer Dr Rachel Matthews challenges the narrow ideas of motherhood in her latest tragi-comedy, Never Look Desperate.
Join Rachel for a glass of wine and lively conversation that celebrates the ways in which nurturing the world is more than the act of having children. And the important role of fiction to contest these labels. An optional mini writing task also included!
Bring paper and pens.
