25 min • 6 mars 2023

Historian and audio producer Catherine Freyne is co-curator of an exhibition at the State Library of NSW called Pride (R)evolution (https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/pride-revolution; see the exhibition's "Sporty Lesbians and Fit Feminists" digital map at https://uploads.knightlab.com/storymapjs/2b49515c1ccc97c68b83ce4c05f11c5a/the-sporting-lesbian/index.html). She joins us to talk about Australian mountaineer Freda du Faur, the first woman to climb New Zealand's highest peak, Aoraki / Mount Cook, in 1910. Freda was also a lesbian, whose life was tragically impacted by the attitudes and practices of the times in which she lived.
