Description
Sometimes rude, never crude, WomanSpeak explores topics where the great men of literature never dared venture. Written in collaboration by renowned female South Australian poets, Jude Aquilina and Louise Nicholas, the poems in this collection are both humorous and reflective, covering a range of topics including women's health, body image and fashion. Performed at women's workshops, Cervical Screenings and other medical conferences nationally, the poetry gives an insight into the rituals and unique experiences of women.
'They have made an art form of attending lectures about health issues and then re-interpreting them in a popular format.' - Associate Professor Margaret Davy, AM
