LNL Summer: The feminist publishing house that launched Australia's best writers

In the early seventies two Melbourne feminists hatched an idea to set up their own publishing house. Diana Gribble was a socialite working in advertising and Hilary McPhee a novice editor. McPhee Gribble Publishing was born. Soon authors like Tim Winton, Dorothy Hewett and Helen Garner were knocking at their door. But in 1989 it all came to an end when they were swallowed up by Penguin. Guest: Hilary McPhee, founder and former Publisher at McPhee Gribble and Chair of the Australia Council from 1993–96. Producer: Catherine Zengerer Originally broadcast on 19 February, 2005
