I wonder about the source for Geraldine Doogue's age. It may be true, but I would guess that Geraldine Doogue is older than I am, born in 1952, as the article says Doogue is. Having followed her career for more than 30 years, I have been under the impression that she is a little older than me. Gontroppo (talk) 12:03, 21 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
The National Library seems to think she was born in 1947, but searching for "geraldine doogue 1947" does not yield a specific date. There are more hits for 1952, for what that's worth. -- Jack of Oz[pleasantries] 17:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Geraldine successfully completed her Leaving Certificate examination in Western Australia. Her results, along with those of her cohort, were published in the The West Australian, a major WA newspaper, on Saturday 4th January 1969. This cohort consisted primarily of students born in 1951 and having their seventeenth birthday in their final year of secondary schooling - 1968. Therefore it is reasonable to assume Geraldine was born in 1951. Dolphin(t) 12:40, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I recall an article in one of the women’s comics, possibly the No Idea, some years ago, reporting the birth of a child to Ms Doogue. The reader of this article, e.g. me, was forced by it to draw two conclusions. The first, that no woman on earth had ever had a child before, and the second, that the child had been begotten without the cooperation of a human male. What an extraordinary person is and was Ms Doogue, a forerunner, so far in advance of our clinical and self-sufficient age. 2001:8003:22CF:AD00:A063:7D26:83B4:6F51 (talk) 08:33, 14 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
