Hard cover with dust jacket, Excellent condition.
Circles of Friendship: The Centenary History of the Lyceum Club Melbourne by Janette Bomford traces the first hundred years of the Lyceum Club Melbourne, founded in 1912 as a meeting place for professional and creative women. The book explores the club’s origins within the broader international Lyceum movement, its role in supporting women’s intellectual, artistic, and social advancement, and its contribution to cultural life in Melbourne. Through archival records, photographs, and personal reminiscences, Bomford highlights the achievements of prominent members in fields such as literature, the arts, education, and public service, while also depicting the enduring friendships and sense of community that sustained the organisation across generations. The history reflects both the changing status of women in Australian society and the club’s continuing commitment to fellowship and cultural engagement.
