Barbara Minchinton in conversation

Tuesday 2 July, 6.30pm
Readings State Library

This event is booked out

Join us to hear Barbara Minchinton in conversation with Fiona Patton.

Madame Brussels, the most legendary brothel keeper in nineteenth-century Melbourne, is still remembered and celebrated today. But until now, little has been known about Caroline Hodgson, the woman behind the alter ego. Madame Brussels is a must-read biography of an enigmatic personality who helped shape early Melbourne.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.

State Library, Wurundjeri Country, State Library Victoria, 285-321 Russell St, Melbourne
