Tracing Her Steps: Women in Boroondara Local Government celebrates the women leaders who have served as mayors in the City of Boroondara and former cities of Camberwell, Hawthorn and Kew between 1954 and 2020. To acknowledge 100 years since the first woman was elected to local government in Victoria, Tracing Her Steps details the contribution of women in our local government area, by highlighting the 17 women who served in the highest position of governance.

Tracing Her Steps commemorates the trailblazing women whose passion, determination and perseverance helped shape our community. Featuring Mayoral portraits, historic objects and ephemera from the Town Hall Gallery Collection and Boroondara Library Service.
