In 1960s Adelaide, the Langley family—Olive, Len, and their daughters Cathy and Evelyn—live a quiet suburban life, disrupted only by Grandma Langley’s weekly moral scoldings. Twenty‑year‑old Cathy, training to be a teacher, sees how harshly society restricts women: no sex before marriage, then babies, housework, and the loss of personal freedom. She’s determined not to marry young. Ten‑year‑old Evelyn dreams of being a fairy princess until she witnesses the cost women pay for such expectations. When the contraceptive pill arrives, women sense new possibilities—but powerful institutions push back, sparking a battle over choice, autonomy, and change.

We can’t wait to see you there! 💛📖
