Join us to celebrate the launch of Helena Rubinstein: The Australian Years.

During this special event we will also pay tribute to the author, Angus Trumble, who died in 2022 just weeks after the completion of the manuscript.

We are delighted to have award-winning author Sarah Krasnostein speak, as well as one of Mr Trumble’s brothers, Hamish Trumble.

The captivating story of the first global cosmetics empire, the fascinating woman who built it, and the past she preferred to leave behind. This meticulously researched and wryly entertaining portrait of Helena Rubinstein (1872–1965) focuses on the years she spent in Australia as a young woman, recovering a ‘lost’ chapter in the grand narrative of the woman who created one of the first global cosmetics corporations. At its height, Rubinstein’s brand was synonymous with elegance and employed 30,000 women around the world.

Free, but bookings are essential.
