In this first episode of Firestarters - rescuing Australian women's newspaper writing from the kindling pile, Francie dives into the submerged heritage of women writers in Australia.
Francie begins by outlining the history of women writers in Australia, and speaks to the two women behind the online archives at Australian Women Writers.
