Have you used Trove to research women’s history?
We would love to hear from you about what you have found in Trove about iconic trail-blazing women throughout Australian history, or women others might not have heard of that have done amazing things.

It was such a privilege to be given a leave pass from lockdown last year to join @MyfWarhurst on her family history journey. If you missed #wdytya last night, catch up on Myf’s emotional roller coaster of a story on @SBSOnDemand #familyhistory #strongwomen
Was shocked to even be considered a celebrity enough to be invited to do Who Do You Think You Are, and what a privilege it was to learn about my family and our history. What a rollercoaster! My ep screens tonight 7.30pm AEST on @SBS and later on @SBSOnDemand.

Spoiler alert: the PM said 'gender equality' zero times in the last month.
This is an issue that affects the social and economic wellbeing of everybody – not just women.
It's about time it was taken seriously.
Excellent analysis by @kirstinferguson

Please, please, please, Canberrans: read this. I can’t express enough how much of a golden opportunity we have in voting for @Rubenstein_Kim1. Friends have been shocked I’m so ‘out there’ this election. Every word of this is why: canberratimes.com.au/story/7…

I wrote a thing for @Nature outlining 3 common workplace gender equality mistakes:
1 Focusing on quantity rather than the quality of women’s experiences
2 Initiatives that try to fix women rather than change systems
3 An overestimation of progress nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Infamous Liberal candidate Katherine Deves calls #surrogacy a 'human rights violation'. For a more nuanced view, read my novel Mother of Pearl @transitlounge2 @fairfieldbooks @BBoundbks @ReadingsBooks transitlounge.com.au/shop/mo…

Great show of solidarity @SnowMedical! (From the former manager of the #womenshistory project @WomenAus that was defunded by the university in 2020.)
Snow Medical has taken the difficult decision to suspend the University of Melbourne from its prestigious Snow Fellowship program. We are committed to working with the University to ensure real change happens.

Please welcome 🇦🇺 colonial historian + mediator Babette Smith OAM (1942-2021) to #Wikipedia. She extensively researched the lives of convict women. A Cargo of Women (1988) + Defiant Voices (2021) show this @WikiWomenInRed @wm_au

We now have over 1400 members, with less than 100 to go! Join NOW to make sure we can enrol with the AEC ASAP.
We need integrity in our Parliament with strong Independents to ensure action on climate change & women's safety.

Parliament just passed amendments to the Electoral Act requiring new parties to have 1500 members (formerly 500) to register with the AEC!
Having just reached 500 members, the 'Kim For Canberra' party now needs another 1000! Join NOW at: kim4canberra.com.au/party_me… #Kim4CBR #auspol
