Brettena Smyth - Making it better for women
About
Join us for this special International Women’s Day talk on Brettena Smyth with Fiona Gatt.Fiona will take you back 145 years to explore the fascinating life of one of Melbourne's earliest proto-feminists, Brettena Smyth, who transformed her North Melbourne shop into a centre for birth control education and products, while also spearheading feminist and suffrage efforts in late 19th-century Australia.
Her store served as a launching pad for radical social change—advancing women’s health knowledge and political rights.
