For six decades, Wendy McCarthy AC has been fighting to get women's voices heard and to create a more gender equal society.

As an activist, she's led some of the most significant transformations of our time, especially for women's reproductive health, education and for more equal opportunities for everyone.

Wendy also demonstrates the power of community and connection -- for embarking on change, retaining your resilience and supporting your own health.

And more than anything, she understands the necessity of vigilance, always.

We share Wendy's excellent keynote from our Women's Health Summit earlier this month, where wendy received a standing ovation from those in the crowd.

Wendy was awarded Australia's highest honour earlier this year for her decades-long service across multiple communities, including the arts, business, health and women’s leadership.

Also, what we're covering on Women's Agenda Today.

Our Women's Agenda Today format aims to break down some of the latest things we're covering on Women's Agenda and take a daily 'deep dive' into a key story with a newsmaker, a key expert source who can share a great women's perspective on a major story we're following, or a key contributor or journalist.

We're running Women's Agenda Daily as a pilot project for three months. Expect to see the format evolve over that time. You can share your feedback by getting in contact.

Check out more on the stories discussed today at Women's Agenda, where you can also sign up for our free daily newsletter.
