Mrs Prime Minister - Public Image, Private Lives
Mrs Prime Minister: Public Image, Private Lives (a Museum of Australian Democracy travelling exhibition) shines the spotlight on the remarkable women who have filled the role of prime minister's wife from 1901 to 2007.
Stripping back the facade of the 'first lady', the exhibition offers a rare glimpse of the women behind the most powerful men in Australian politics: the highs and the lows; the glamour and the hardships.
On display at the Lascelles Exhibition Gallery, Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library from Monday, March 29 until Sunday, June 20, 2010.
