Writer and actress Thistle Anderson (aka Mrs Herbert Fisher) grabbed headlines across Australia in the early 1900s. Thistle delighted in disturbing the composure of society’s elite. From Melbourne to London her escapades had fuelled the social pages for years. Then in 1903, she descended on Adelaide as the wife of stockbroker, Herbert Fisher. She was unimpressed by the city and its people and cheerfully voiced her cutting comments. Then she put pen to paper and published them! Join us for a tale of romance and folly, a scandalous court case, and a slanderous little red book that sold, and sold, and sold.
As we mark 110 years since the first Anzac Day, we’ll explore the origins of this enduring legend.
