Get ready to travel back to 1891, a time when corsets were tight and women were fighting for something even tighter: the right to vote. Join Jean Rotherham, the President of the Dromana and District Historical Society, as she unpacks the thrilling tale of the Monster Petition. No, it's not about a creature hiding under your bed, but rather a massive call to action made by thousands of Victorian women, including those from Dromana, who decided it was high time they had a say in how things were run. Spoiler alert: their voices led to some real changes in gender equality in Australia.

So, if you fancy a bit of history with your morning coffee, this is the place to be. Just make sure to secure your spot because this isn't a casual chit-chat over tea. It's happening on Saturday, 12 April 2025, at 10:30 AM at the Mornington Library. Just remember, it's free, but you'll need to book ahead to avoid missing out on all the juicy historical gossip.
