What role did women play in shaping Australia's Constitution – and what does it mean for women today?

To mark International Women's Day, join us for a special Speakers' Corner event with Professor Kim Rubenstein as she examines the Australian Constitution through the lens of women's lives.

Did women have a role when the Constitution was drafted? How has this foundational document shaped their rights, freedoms, and opportunities? And what does it mean for women in Australia today?

In this insightful discussion, Professor Rubenstein will bring history to life, revealing the stories, struggles and milestones that have defined women's constitutional journey.

Don't miss your chance to discover how the Constitution continues to impact gender equality in Australia, explore the questions that remain, and join the conversation during the audience Q&A.
