Celebrating incredible women |
|
In honour of International Women's Day, all week we've brought you stories by and for women, highlighting amazing feats of strength, courage and resilience.
Discover poignant personal stories, from women called to preach, even when it defies church law, to Alyce Nelligan's challenging journey through pregnancy as a disabled woman.
In the art world, learn about trailblazing feminist artist Vivienne Binns, who created boundary-pushing works to confront the entrenched sexism she saw around her.
Then, tune in to The Art Show's special podcast series, Know My Name, in which Rudi Bremer digs into the ABC's radio archives to unearth rare interviews with Indigenous Australian women artists.
The latest episode features Dianne Jones, a photo-media artist who manipulates images from colonial art, including the work of John Glover, Tom Roberts, and Max Dupain.
Then, head to the realm of science and discovery with the latest episode of comedic science quiz show, The Pop Test, which delves into the story of Marie Curie and features a stellar all-female lineup of writers and comedians.
Meet Destiny Kynuna, a medical student from a remote Indigenous community, who is pushing for more First Nations people in healthcare.
And finally, inspire the girls in your life with a story about marine conservationist and shark lover, Valerie Taylor, in the premiere episode of an all-new season of Fierce Girls.
Enjoy your weekend,
Anna Levy, RN deputy digital editor
