Sita Sargeant

Sita Sargeant is a tour guide, feminist, history nerd, and author. In 2021, she founded She Shapes History—a social enterprise working to close the gender respect gap by making Australian women’s history accessible and engaging. Through walking tours, digital content, a podcast, and now a book, She Shapes History shares the inspiring, unexpected, and all-too-often overlooked stories of how women have shaped the places we live, work, and visit. Her debut book, She Shapes History: Walks & Stories About Great Australian Women, brings these stories to life across 31 towns and cities around the country.
