About This Tour
This isn’t your standard Sydney history tour. It’s for anyone who’s ever asked, “Where are the women in the story of this city?” For travellers who want to step off the beaten path and discover a Sydney few ever see – but everyone should know. Led by She Shapes History, you’ll walk from Macquarie Street to The Rocks, meeting the women who opened political doors, preserved heritage buildings, and built community in the city’s oldest streets – pub owners, nurses, writers, widows, and Chinese women who resisted, rebuilt, and reshaped Sydney in ways you’ve probably never heard about.
