Christine Lister will celebrate 16 amazing Australian women – historical and contemporary humanitarians, celebrities, politicians, journalists, athletes, adventurers, feminists and heroines.
They include: women leaders and achievers who made a difference to Australian society and changed attitudes to women’s and girls’ roles; rebels – remarkably resourceful and resilient rebels – devoted to causes they believed in; and trailblazers too, breaking through the barriers of society’s expectations. Despite the significance of their achievements, they were often ridiculed, rejected, forgotten or overlooked by history.
Christine will also talk about the feminine leadership qualities and personal characteristics that set exceptional women apart.
Once a school principal, Christine is now a wise woman, an elder and an old soul.
