Description
Evelyn Scott (1935-2017) was one of the most celebrated voices in the battle for indigenous rights in Australia. She was a life-long political activist and a leading force in the historic 1967 referendum for aboriginal rights. History classes can get a bad wrap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica.
