We are thrilled to present this online event with Jacqueline Kent as she discusses her new biography, Vida: A Woman for Our Time.

A celebrated crusader for women’s rights and the first woman in the Western world to stand for a national Parliament in 1903, Vida Goldstein was a true pioneer.

In this captivating biography, Kent explores the difficulties Goldstein faced entering politics, and draws parallels to the issues women continue to face today. Join us to hear Kent illuminate this trailblazer’s life and legacy with conversation partner Mary Crooks, Executive Director of the Victorian Women’s Trust.
