Women Who Win
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?

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
