Women Who Win

Publisher's description:
Across history, women were told to sit down, smile, and stay quiet. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. They spoke out, stood tall - and ruined the patriarchy’s day. Because of them, women won.

Journalist and human rights advocate Antoinette Lattouf takes us on a gripping journey through women who defied expectations and shattered cultural and legal barriers - usually while being cast aside and asked to calm down.

In these pages you’ll meet:

- Australia’s first female law graduate

- First Nations leaders who resisted colonisation

- Pioneers in sport and science

- The women behind the first sex discrimination class action

- Those fighting against climate destruction.

Some names you’ll recognise, others you’ll wish you’d known sooner.

Threaded throughout is Lattouf’s landmark victory - one woman, armed with ethical resolve, taking on Australia’s most powerful media institution. In doing so, she sparked a global conversation on power, prejudice and the price of integrity in the press.

Women Who Win is a fierce, unflinching celebration of grit, guts and glorious defiance. These women didn’t just show up - they came to rewrite the rules and never asked for permission.
