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?
