Anne Summers: 50 Years of Damned Whores and God’s Police

Anne Summers’s Damned Whores and God’s Police was first published 50 years ago – a time when sexual harassment, domestic violence and date rape were unnamed and often ignored experiences for women in Australia.

Join Anne as the bestselling and multi-award-winning writer and journalist – also an Officer of the Order of Australia and inductee to the Australian Media Hall of Fame – reflects on her groundbreaking book, what she has done since and what she is doing now with host Alecia Simmonds.
