Unstoppable - Women’s Sport
Wednesday 6 May 7:30 PM
Our national game used to be available to only half of the population - until women became an unstoppable force on the Australian sporting field.
This episode traces a warts-and-all transformation of women’s participation in Australian sport, from the restrictive 1950s and 60s to the fight for equal prize money, media coverage and finally acceptance. Today, Australia’s female sports stars dominate international competitions, lead professional leagues, and inspire the next generation. But it’s been a dogfight to get there. It’s a story of persistence, courage, and the power of sport to drive social change - showing how Australian women didn’t just enter the game, but ultimately changed the game forever
