Trailblazers: Migrant women activists

The untold story of migrant women who fought for special services.

"To be poor, migrant and a woman is to achieve optimum disadvantage" (anon.) – and a new exhibition recognises the efforts of migrant women who aimed to diminish that disadvantage.

Celebrating the "mothers" of multiculturalism, Trailblazers records the untold story of the gutsy and spirited migrant women who fought for specialist medical, social, workplace and educational services for women of migrant backgrounds.
