MAY Monthly Talk – Making Herstory

May talk

Voices of the Thwaites & Fitzpatrick Women Across Time & Place by Helen Downey, with Lorraine Secen

In 2009, Helen Downey moved to Point Lonsdale and noticed that Thwaites Walk was named after all the Thwaites men. She heard someone reading a history of Queenscliff in the Museum ask, ‘Where are all the women?’ and began writing Making Herstory, based on the letters of Theodora Fitzpatrick, whose mother, Ethel Thwaites, was sister to the Thwaites men
Helen Downey, the author of seven non-fiction books, was a volunteer Queenscliff Heritage Guide for three years until she moved to France with husband Peter, in 2012.
