ANTOINETTE LATTOUF: WOMEN WHO WIN

Award-winning journalist, presenter and author Antoinette Lattouf hit global headlines and set legal precedent in 2025 when her case with the ABC cracked open urgent questions about free speech, employment rights and who really pays the price when media power goes unchecked. 

In her new book Women Who Win: Celebrating Courage, Conviction and Change, Antoinette writes from the eye of the storm. One woman. One contract. One refusal to step aside. From there, she widens the frame, tracing the lives of other Australian women across history who challenged authority, advocating for themselves and others. 

Join Antoinette in conversation with Jo Dyer for an evening of sharp insight, hard-earned truth and feminist wins that we were meant to forget.
