Inspirational women brought to life - Sita was a terrific tour guide with extensive knowledge of the women who featured in the Badass Tour and explaining their role in Australias history from a female perspective. We learnt a lot about the tenacity and commitment of these women who were trail blazers and forged a way forward for all women. Highly recommend this tour for an insight into real history.

She Shapes History engaging inspiring and indispensable - She Shapes History is an outstanding tour, brilliantly delivered by Sita, whose passion for and knowledge of this neglected and vital topic is completely engrossing and inspiring. May She Shapes History blaze its way into Australian schools, workplaces, and other sites of learning and nation building- they can't afford to avoid it! Fran and Michael
