The Charlotte Project

 

Charlotte Atkinson was one of the most accomplished women of her era and she lived in the Southern Highlands at Oldbury Farm in Sutton Forest

​

• She was Australia’s first published children’s book author

• She was a pioneer in the fight for women’s legal rights becoming the first Australian woman to secure legal custody of her own children

• She was an extraordinary trailblazer in women’s education

 

Help us to raise $80,000 for a commemorative statue recognising charlotte Atkinson, to be erected at Berrima park

​

The Charlotte Project is part of a worldwide movement for commemorative justice in celebration of significant historical women in our communities.

 

Charlotte’s story is remarkable. Her statue will be the first statue of a real woman in the Southern Highlands.
