Event details
Join two-time winner of the NSW Premiers Literary Award Debra Oswald as she introduces Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious, and about to turn 100.
Debra Oswald will present her new novel, One Hundred Years of Betty, one ordinary extraordinary woman living through a century of massive change.
Set against a century of world events and social upheavals, Betty takes us to the frontlines of the anti-war protests and the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, to Mexico and eventually becomes a TV screenwriter. Even in her nineties, Betty is still passionately engaged with the world, still surprising us.
Debra Oswald is a prolific writer whose stage plays have been performed around the world and are published by Currency Press. Her television credits include Police Rescue, Palace of Dreams, The Secret Life of Us, Sweet and Sour and Bananas in Pyjamas.
