Thank you to the author Kim Chandler McDonald for her tremendous effort in pulling together the book, Postcards from Tomorrow, a compilation of letters from over 270 Australian and international women to their 21-year-old selves. What would you say to your 21-year-old self? If you had the chance, what would you like young women today to read about and ponder?

With messages from women of comedy, theatre, TV, dance, broadcasting, journalism, activism, philanthropy, politics, business and innovation, solo adventurers and Olympic champions, Postcards from Tomorrow is an intimate sharing of stories that provide personal histories filled with surprise, heartbreak, delight and inspiration.

In honour of International Women’s Day, Kim and many of the letter writers have shared excerpts from their letters on social media and throughout their personal networks. Lou’s Place is proud to share an excerpt from philanthropist and Lou’s Place supporter Skye Leckie, OAM.

We are also very grateful to artist Wendy Sharpe for her original artwork throughout the book which helps to capture the emotion and unique femininity of each letter. Throughout the book, you will also enjoy entertaining shots of many letter writers at the age of 21! Of course, most haven’t changed at all.

All proceeds from the book go to Lou’s Place (Thank you again, Kim). We hope you will consider purchasing a copy (click on the link below) and sharing it with family and friends.
