The majestic Queen Victoria Building stands in the heart of the city as a monument to a much- loved and long-reigning Queen, although she never visited Sydney.

But what of the other, less obvious, city spaces where Sydney women went about their daily lives?

The walking tour shows key sites where girls and women lived and worked, where they were educated and entertained, and where pioneering activist women held meetings, published journals and sometimes in the process expanded the possibilities for all women's lives.
