She Shapes History – Melbourne

Walk into Australia’s hidden history.

At She Shapes History, they believe the past isn’t confined to textbooks – it lives in the streets beneath everyone’s feet. Their guided walking tours in Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne uncover the extraordinary stories of the women who shaped Australia’s political, social, and cultural life.

For too long, women’s contributions have been sidelined or forgotten. They’re here to change that. Their tours bring history to life through the lens of the fearless, formidable, and often overlooked women who challenged the status quo and reshaped the nation.

From suffragettes and social reformers to artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, She Shapes History offers a fresh feminist take on Australia’s past — one that’s as empowering as it is enlightening.

Whether you’re wandering Canberra’s corridors of power, tracing feminist landmarks in Sydney, or navigating Melbourne’s cultural laneways, our experiences go far beyond the usual history tour. They’re immersive, inclusive, and unforgettable.

Join them as they rewrite the story of Australia — one woman, one story, one step at a time.
