Still Turning Heads at 250: Jane Austen’s Enduring Charm

In the year of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday, this lively and thought-provoking discussion explores her life, legacy, and literary brilliance — her novels are charming, sure, but also radical, political, witty, and entertaining.

Presented in partnership with the State Library of NSW, this event brings together Kate and Cassie, Scott Stephens from The Minefield, and literary scholar Sophie Gee. They will delve into Austen’s sharp observations on friendship, ambition, money, love, power, and equality.
