Seymour Centre: Fifty Years Of Feminism with Anne Summers and Yumi Stynes
20 November 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm AEDT

Join us for Fifty Years of Feminism, a celebratory conversation between trailblazing feminist Anne Summers and broadcaster, author, and activist Yumi Stynes. Marking the 50th anniversaries of Summers’ groundbreaking book God’s Whores and Damned Police, Sydney’s iconic performing arts theatre, Seymour Centre, and beloved independent bookseller Gleebooks, this event honours the voices, movements and moments that have shaped feminist thought in Australia.
In this dynamic and thought-provoking event, Summers and Stynes will reflect on the progress made, the battles still being fought, and the role of feminist voices in shaping our future. From personal stories to political shifts, they’ll explore how feminism has evolved—and what liberation looks like today.
With a welcome by Professor Annamarie Jagose Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, and a post-show book signing, join us for an evening of insight, celebration, and connection with two of Australia’s most fearless voices.
