Women’s sport may be making headlines today, but its rise has been decades in the making - built on determination, innovation, and resilience.

From backyard games to national leagues, the journey of women in Australian rules football, cricket, and basketball is filled with powerful stories. That’s why the WA Museum launched the Women in Sport project, capturing the personal stories of obstacles and opportunities that resonate across all sports and the meaningful objects that form part of this evolution.
