Women may not be highly visible in many formal positions of power, but in fact, they exercise extraordinary leadership in a myriad of ways and places throughout our State.

In this exhibition, we pay tribute to women and girls from the locations where WOW (Women of the World) Festivals have taken place - Biloela, Charleville, Longreach, Cairns, Logan, and Brisbane. Each woman featured has been identified by her community for the leadership or huge personal contribution each has made, and all have remarkable stories to tell.
