About this listen
In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Dr Bron Bateman chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about her choices while editing Women of a Certain Courage.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
- The drive behind Women of a Certain Courage, including why Bron set out to challenge traditional male-centric hero narratives and celebrate everyday women’s bravery.
- How Bron handpicked 18 diverse women writers—Indigenous activists, queer and trans voices and women with disabilities—to share first-person stories of courage from across Australia.
- A peek into Bron’s editing process: how her poet’s eye for imagery and rhythm helped shape the anthology’s powerful emotional journey.
- The common threads of resilience, healing and transformation that connect these diverse stories and how each woman emerges stronger after adversity.
- Bron’s fresh take on what courage really means, highlighting that heroism isn’t always loud. It can be found in small acts of persistence and speaking your truth in everyday life.
- Why sharing these stories creates a ripple effect of bravery, inspiring others to find their own courage.
- Why Bron believes every act of courage, no matter how small, matters.
