About this listen
In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, historian and author Dr Yves Rees chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about the choices they made while crafting Travelling to Tomorrow: The Modern Women Who Sparked Australia’s Romance with America.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
- How a group of 10 pioneering women in the early 20th century dared to dream and defy convention by venturing into uncharted territories, breaking down barriers and shaping the cultural and intellectual landscape of both Australia and the US
- The evidence Yves Rees used to inform how they filled gaps in the historical record by speculating about the women’s inner lives and reasons for their decisions
- Why Yves weaved the women’s stories throughout the narrative rather than presenting them one by one or chronologically
- Yves’s belief that international relations involves much more than formal diplomacy between officials and nation states and that relations between nations are made in the realm of culture, travel and ideas
- How the 10 women influenced the relationship between Australia and America.
