Y Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Rosalie Webb Studio 1 / 15 Barnett Way, Richmond, VIC, Australia

Was a country girl ready for the harsh life of the YWCA Richmond? Doery House, the YWCA hostel at 353 Church Street, Richmond, Victoria, should have been a home away from home for teenage girls from the country residing there in the late 1960s. Alas, this was nowhere near reality. Rosalie Webb, who has written Y Girls Just Wanna Have Fun about her experiences living in the YWCA hostel, will speak at at  Richmond & Burnley Historical Society event.
