LOUISA HAMILTON Born 17/4/21

The SILENT GENERATION by Amber Petty

LOUISA HAMILTON Born 17/4/21 When Louisa Hamilton entered the world in 1921, the world was a very different place. King George V was ruling and Russia was entering the 'Great Famine'. It would be another 22 years before a woman would be elected into Australian Parliament. Now aged 98 years old, Louisa reflects on a life that saw her famous English descendants, the Hordern's, build a national retailing dynasty (Horden & Sons) in Sydney's CBD, before Louisa was even born. As a librarian and eternal book lover, it's Alice in Wonderland that resonates the most about the way she sees 'life'. The Silent Generation is sponsored by Freedom Aged Care. Series created and hosted by Amber Petty.
