Foundlings

Anna Spargo-Ryan

2022

Foundlings is a work-in-progress.

Following the lives of two women who hoped for more, it’s historical fiction set in the Adelaide Destitute Asylum on the cusp of women’s suffrage legislation in the late nineteenth century.

Anna also has a short story called Foundling in The Saturday Paper (16 July 2022) which is behind a paywall.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
