This year marks 100 years since the first woman was elected in parliament in Australia. To celebrate, we’re bringing back some of our favourite Fierce Girls episodes, celebrating trailblazing female politicians. When Edith Cowan was a girl, her mum died, and her father was sentenced to death for murder. She knew hardship … and it drove her to get a better deal for women and children who were then treated like second class citizens. She took her fight all the way to Parliament House in Perth when she became the very first woman in Australia to be elected. If you turn over a 50 dollar note, you’ll see Edith’s strong and determined face staring right back at you.
Andrea Boyd grew up loving the science fiction series Star Trek. And when she wasn’t at school, conducting science experiments or staring at the TV, she was staring at the sky.
Caroline Buchanan rode in her first big international BMX race when she was nine, waving to the crowd, soaring down hills, gliding through the air. It was a feeling too good to give up.
Faith Thomas grew up throwing rocks at galahs. She’d only been playing proper cricket for a couple of weeks before she was picked to represent South Australia.
Nyadol Nyuon’s family is from South Sudan, but she was born in a refugee camp.
When Madeline Stuart was 17, her mum took her to a fashion parade where most of the models seemed to fit a tall, thin, predictable box.
Even as a young girl, Celeste Barber always had a funny story that would make everyone laugh out loud.
