About

Walk into Sydney's hidden history.

She Shapes History believes the past isn't confined to textbooks – it lives in the streets beneath our feet. Their guided walking tours uncover the extraordinary stories of the women who shaped Sydney's political, social, and cultural life.

For too long, women's contributions have been sidelined or forgotten. She Shapes History is on a mission to change that. Their tours bring history to life through the lens of the fearless, formidable, and often overlooked women who challenged the status quo and reshaped the nation.

From suffragettes and social reformers to artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, She Shapes History offers a fresh feminist take on Sydney's past — one that's as empowering as it is enlightening. Their experiences go far beyond the usual history tour. They're immersive, inclusive, and unforgettable.

Join them as they rewrite the narrative — one woman, one story, one step at a time.
