Through the honesty and humour in her writing,
Stella Young has made a significant contribution to the public discourse on disability this year. As well as being the editor of ABC’s
Ramp Up, Young is also a successful comedian, activist and a regular contributor to websites including
The Punch and
The Drum. This year, Young has worked tirelessly to put the
National Disability Insurance Scheme back on the national political agenda. She has also tackled gender issues faced by disabled women including reproductive rights and disabled sexuality from an unapologetic feminist perspective.
...From more than 2000 nominations we selected the 20 women we felt most strongly were “a woman that empowers other women”. This list is a timely reminder of just some of the inspiring and powerful women we have in our corner. They have all made an impact on the lives of Australian women this year and the issues that are most important to them.
