A quote against a photo of a telescope looking up at the moon, with soft pink light on the horizon indicating that the sun has only recently set. The quote reads: “What emerged from our research was that it appears that astronomers have been pro-active in pursuing gender-equity initiatives. However, it is not a time to feel satisfied, nor that the job is done.” It is by Toner Stevenson, co-author, ‘Gender diversity in Australian astronomy: the Astronomical Society of Australia 1966–2023’, Historical Records of Australian Science.

The research describes actions that helped achieve change.
