Plus: What we should learn from Indigenous Eldership
| | | | Meet Rose, the invisible trailblazer |
|
More than 200 years ago, a 22-year-old French woman cut off her hair, disguised herself as a man, stowed away on a ship, and became the first woman to document a circumnavigation of the world.
But her story was almost lost, thanks to male editors and censorship.
In a fascinating online article from Late Night Live, meet Rose de Freycinet, a hidden figure of history who's finally getting the recognition she deserves.
Then, learn how to tap into the wisdom of your elders, inspired by Indigenous traditions around Eldership and knowledge sharing.
"In traditional times, Elders were of critical importance in ensuring the wellbeing of the community," writes Worimi author Paul Callaghan.
"It's a hierarchy based on wisdom and knowledge" rather than "forceful power", he explains in an online story from RN's Religion and Ethics team.
And don't forget to explore our range of arts and culture highlights airing over the summer, from the story of Australia's forgotten ballets to reading recommendations from the world's best authors.
Until next time,
Anna Levy, deputy digital editor
