Meet Madeleine Hamilton - Our Girls: Aussie pin-ups of the Forties & Fifties

Who was Australia’s Marilyn Monroe? Did we have our own Lana Turner? Madeleine Hamilton tracks down the swimsuit and glamour models of an earlier era to share their stories. Enriched with first-hand accounts from the models, and letters from their many fans, as well as gorgeous pictures of the girls themselves, Our Girls: Aussie Pin-ups of the 40s and 50s tells the tale of these women and Australian pin-up art before, during and after World War II.

In 2003, Madeleine Hamilton commenced a four-year mission to uncover Australia’s pin-ups of the 40s and 50s that resulted in a PhD from the University of Melbourne as well as the award-winning SBS documentary Paper Dolls: Australian Pin-up Girls of World War II.

Where: Miller's Homestead Cnr Melrose Court and Dorrigo Drive, Boronia Melways Ref 65E5
