NAVY125 - Speakers Talk: Wives & Sweethearts - Women in the Navy
About this Event
As part of our series of events to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy, this is the story of how women came to be in the RAN, of some of the people who made that possible and of some who tried to prevent it.
But most interestingly it is also the story of what went before these events. What was the inspiration for having women in the Royal Australian Navy in the first place? Where did that idea come from? It turns out Australia was merely following imperial, mostly unofficial, precedent and by doing so joined a naval tradition that was already arguably hundreds of years old.”
Presented by Justin Holmwood from the Museum's Speakers Group.
