In part one of Unearthed’s special three-part series celebrating 25 years of the Rural Women’s Award, we go back to where it all began and discover the challenges facing women in rural Australia in the 1980s and ‘90s. Featuring interviews with Jeanette Long, Lisa Palu and Edwina Clowes, the episode explores how they were motivated to bring the contribution of women to agriculture and rural communities out of the shadows and into the spotlight, and how the Award has empowered women within the agricultural sector.
