Courage on the home front: Queensland women during the war

Presented in partnership with the State Library of Queensland.

Join Queensland Museum and the State Library of Queensland professional staff for this special workshop exploring the extraordinary contributions of Queensland women during times of war.

Through letters, photographs, artefacts, and records, explore how Queensland women supported the war effort, reshaped their communities, and inspired generations through their courage and resilience.

By analysing these primary sources, students will deepen their understanding of the war’s impact, develop key historical inquiry skills, and make authentic connections between Queensland’s wartime experiences and their own learning.
