DEBUNKING SEXUAL MYTHOLOGY with Erna Walraven


Listen Later

What do gorillas, gender roles, and glass ceilings have in common? Today’s guest, Erna Walraven, knows the answer firsthand. One of Australia’s first female zookeepers, Erna spent two decades as Senior Curator at Taronga Zoo, working with some of the world’s most powerful animals, while battling an entirely different kind of beast: misogyny and sexism in a male-dominated working environment.


Erna has penned a book, Hear Me Roar - part memoir, part feminist science, and all parts entertaining. Through vivid storytelling and deep biological insight, Erna explores the parallels between power, gender, and the animal kingdom, challenging assumptions about both human and animal behaviour.



In this episode, we unpack what it means to fight for your place in a world that wasn't built for you, the surprising truths the natural world can teach us about gender, and how Erna carved out a legacy by refusing to be silenced. This one’s fierce, fearless, and fascinating. Let’s meet the formidable Erna Walraven…
