Do you know who was behind the design of Canberra? What about the first person hired to manage the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Both are women whose stories have historically rarely been told.
That’s something tour guide, feminist, history nerd, and author Sita Sargeant plans on changing. Frustrated by the lack of recognition for women’s historical contributions, she founded She Shapes History – a tourism company offering entertaining and engaging walking tours in Canberra, Sydney, and Melbourne to make sure the remarkable achievements of women are not lost.
She chats to us about how she got started with her tours, and what her plans are to ensure the message is spread far and wide.
We also talk about the sober curious movement and how Avani Hotels is ensuring no one is left sipping a boring drink!
And Health Direct has some top tips for avoiding motion sickness.
