“If we want respect for women today, we need to recognise the women who shaped our past.”  
- She Shapes History 

For too long, the women who shaped Australia have been overlooked. Their stories remain untold or written out of the history books completely. It’s time to change that. In collaboration with feminist history nerds She Shapes History, Yarra Ranges Regional Museum presents Badass Women of the Yarra Ranges. 

From the first woman to drive the Black Spur, to a pilot who flew from Australia to England and an activist who gained recognition for Aboriginal servicepeople, Yarra Ranges women have challenged the status quo to shape their lives, their communities and Australia for the better.  

What we’re creating: 

She Shapes History video stories 
A series of short, punchy and impossible to forget video stories that bring these remarkable women to life. Filmed on location across the Yarra Ranges by She Shapes History. 

The video series will be available to view from Sat 18 Oct. 

Follow us on Instagram to be the first to watch! 

Illustrated Adventure Map 
Pickup a copy of the illustrated map that transforms the Yarra Ranges into your personal women’s history expedition. Step out of the museum and into the footsteps of women from across the Yarra Ranges, discovering where these incredible women lived, worked and made their mark. 

Available from Yarra Ranges Regional Museum and other key tourism locations across the region. Illustrated by Amandine Thomas. 

Interactive Gallery Experience  
An in-gallery experience at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum where visitors can discover women's histories and contribute their own ‘Badass Women of the Yarra Ranges’ during our special Curator-in-Residence sessions.  

If you know a woman or non-binary person who you would like to see honoured, remembered and immortalised one day, add their story to our participatory exhibition or chat to our Curator-in-Residence available Wednesday to Friday from 18 October to 7 December:  
 
Wednesday, 11am–12pm, 1pm-2pm 
Thursday, 11am–12pm, 1pm-2pm 
Friday, 11am–12pm, 1pm-2pm 

Because we know there are many more women out there whose stories are waiting to be told.
