It is Family History Month! Join us for a fascinating panel discussion on the history of Australian mothers and how motherhood has changed over time. Dr. Carla Pascoe Leahy, author of Becoming a Mother: an Australian History and Miranda Francis, a researcher into the history of Australian motherhood in the 20th century, will discuss their work in this session.
