Ladylike
Let’s talk about what “ladylike” really means. This month, you’ll hear from women who are unapologetically themselves — breaking the rules, making their own way, and redefining what it means to take up space. It’s bold, it’s brave, and it’s a celebration of all the ways we’re claiming our power.
Generation Women is coming to Newcastle for the very first time as part of our On The Road NSW tour. One night. Six decades. Stories that will stay with you.

This month's storytellers
Our lineup is being carefully curated — this month's storytellers will be announced soon. Watch this space.
What to expect
Six real women, six real stories
One storyteller from each decade — 20s through 70s+ — sharing unscripted personal stories on a single theme.
2 hours, with time to mingle
Doors open 7:00 PM · Show runs 7:30–9:30 PM at KeyStone 1889, Bathurst. 20min interval – time to connect, if you feel like it.
Laughs, tears, and recognition
Not a panel. Not a lecture. Stories that make a room full of strangers feel connected.
For women of all ages
Our audiences range from 20s to 70s+. Come alone, come with friends — you’ll leave feeling both seen and connected.
What people are saying
I didn’t know what to expect — I left feeling like I’d been seen. One of the best nights I’ve had in years.

Genuinely funny, genuinely moving. The stories stayed with me for weeks. Brought three friends to the next one.
Jess T., 35 · Attended March 2026
I’ve been three times and cried every single one. In the best possible way. This show is unlike anything else.
