Women in Conversation: Di Ryder

WA Women’s Hall of Fame inductee, Dianne Ryder is a quintessential grandmother and much-loved Aboriginal Elder, who says she wasted her education in the convent school she attended in Toodyay in the 1960s, but got a second chance in the most unlikely place: the Australian Army.
Her accolades include the Order of Australia and a National NAIDOC Lifetime Achievement Award for her ceaseless voluntary work with young people in her community and Aboriginal Army veterans. Come and hear this proud Noongar woman in conversation at the State Library.
Women in Conversation at the State Library is part of a suite of women-centred programming in 2025. Hear from some of WA’s groundbreaking and inspirational women who have become leaders and mentors in their chosen fields and actively give back and build communities.
