Overview

Across history, women were told to sit down, smile and stay quiet. Spoiler alert- they didn't. They spoke out, stood tall - and ruined the patriarchy's day. Because of them, women won. Journalist and human rights advocate Antoinette Lattouf takes us on a gripping journey through women who defied expectations and shattered cultural and legal barriers - usually while being cast aside and asked to calm down. In these pages you'll meet- - Australia's first female law graduate - First Nations leaders who resisted colonisation - Pioneers in sport and science - The women behind the first sex discrimination class action - Those fighting against climate destruction. Some names you'll recognise, others you'll wish you'd known sooner. Threaded throughout is Lattouf's landmark victory - one woman, armed with ethical resolve, taking on Australia's most powerful media institution. In doing so, she sparked a global conversation on power, prejudice and the price of integrity in the press. Women Who Win is a fierce, unflinching celebration of grit, guts and glorious defiance. These women didn't just show up - they came to rewrite the rules and never asked for permission. Less history lesson, more history's mic drop - and now the stage is yours. Armed with the legacies of those who came before us, what fight will you take on? What victories are within your reach today?

Author Information

Antoinette Lattouf is an award-winning journalist, presenter, podcaster, author and human rights advocate whose surname has now become a verb - Lattoufed- to be sacked or silenced for defending human rights. Her landmark victory in Lattouf v ABC became a flashpoint in debates about free speech, employee rights, institutional cowardice and what happens when a journalist speaks truth to (media) power. She's the co-creator of independent media company Ette Media, co-founder of Media Diversity Australia, a TEDx speaker and a regular fixture on lists such as the AFR's 100 Women of Influence and Marie Claire's Women of the Year. Antoinette has also won a host of media, leadership and human rights awards. Her first book, How to Lose Friends and Influence White People, somehow won her friends. Her second book, Women Who Win, is an exploration of Australian women who glanced at the rulebook, chuckled and used it as a coaster while rewriting the terms and deciding for themselves what victory looks like. Known for wielding humour like a weapon - equal parts shield and scalpel - Lattouf's work spans commercial and public broadcasting, boardrooms, courtrooms and the occasional Murdoch media pile-on. And no, she's not done yet.
