In Her Words

Between 1789 and 1951, twenty-five women were executed in Australia. Their names were forgotten, their stories silenced—until now.

In this powerful new show, historian and storyteller Deb Robinson gives voice to the condemned. With meticulous research and evocative storytelling, In Her Words reveals the lives of mothers, daughters, outsiders, and survivors whose fates ended at the gallows.

This isn’t just true crime—it’s raw, real history that demands to be heard. Step inside the shadows of colonial justice:

            🔪 Discover the crimes that shocked a nation.

            👩‍🦰 Hear the voices society chose to erase.

           ⚖️ Confront the justice—and injustice—of the past.

Gripping, haunting, unforgettable.
