20 Irish-Australian women who shaped Australia

Celebrating the contribution of Irish Australian women

Aisling 20/20 Vision

The history of the Irish diaspora in Australia is often recounted.

Less well known are the contributions of generations of Irish women and women of Irish heritage to the richness of the Australian nation.

Forgotten stories

Aisling 20/20 Vision celebrates a selection of these forgotten stories.

Twenty stories of determination, bravery and achievement, have been selected to represent a wide range and variety of women.

Posters from the exhibition featuring information about the Irish-Australian woman hung along the side of a park.

Study of Irish history

From orphans who crossed the globe to pioneers who left lasting legacies, these lives have been researched and presented by the members of the Aisling Society. This is an organisation dedicated to the study of Irish history and culture and its impact on Australia.
