Bayside Women’s Soirèe celebrating women in Bayside Melbourne – book here.
The Bayside federal electorate is named after one of the most amazing feminists in Australia’s history Vida Goldstein and it’s home to many exceptional women: captains of industry, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, creatives, educators and change-makers.
I recently met Federal MP Tim Wilson and we decided it would be a great idea to collaborate on an event for women, to honour Vida’s work, honour the modern trail blazers in our community and inspire others.
Best of all it will be informed, intelligent conversation and fun.
Love to see you there!
Martine Harte.
