About this Event
This is the story of how women came to be in the Royal Australian Navy, of some of the people who made that possible and some who tried to prevent it. But most interestingly it is also the story of what went before these events. What was the inspiration for having women in the Royal Australian Navy in the first place ? Where did that idea come from ? It turns out Australia was following imperial precedent and, by adopting it, was continuing what had been, in many instances, an unofficial naval tradition that was already hundreds of years old !
