Farewell to Madwomen for 2017. Our seventh season was a beautiful blend of the serious, sad, profound and hilarious.
We were able to give $1700 to Fitted For Work, our chosen charity this year. As always, its a great feeling for us (Bridgette, Christina and Maureen) to not only run a festival that supports women’s writing but also to be able to donate half of the takings to a women’s charity.
Over the last 7 years we have supported the following groups:
Breast Cancer Australia (2011), Safe Steps (2012 & 2015), Australian National Committee on Refugee Women (2013), White Ribbon (2014), Hagar Australia (2016), Fitted for Work (2017)
In total we have donated over $10,000 to our chosen charities. Every cent helps in the same way that every word of encouragement to an artist helps. We’ll be back in 2018 – giving women writers a leg up in our own way.
