About the Exhibition

Australian women were the first in the world to achieve both the right to vote and to stand for election, yet they still faced inequality. This exhibition tells the story of the fight for women's rights in Australia.

Discover the remarkable stories of activists like Edna Ryan campaigning for equal pay in 1974 and Nyadol Nyuon's advocacy for refugee women today.

See the hand-embroidered banners of craftivist Tal Fitzpatrick, Natasha Stott Despoja's Doc Martens, Senator Jocelyn Newman's speech notes and much more.
