Opinion Columns
Vanessa de Largie has sold columns and feature articles to magazines and newspapers all over the globe. She has written prolifically about her rape. She also writes about domestic violence, PTSD, Endometriosis, aged care, sex work, art, being a carer and more. If you are offended by Vanessa’s views – she doesn’t give a shit. It would be a pretty beige world, if we all thought the same thoughts.
