The future of women’s work is not simply about participation rates or automation forecasts. The Creative Women’s Association Verified Cultural Workforce Registry connects skilled women practitioners in cultural, craft, and manufacturing fields with real, paid work — making high-skill labour visible, trusted, and workforce-ready across Australia.

Women create culture, corporations profit, and the originators disappear. This piece explores how cultural capital is mined from female creators, how platforms like Etsy and eBay profit from feminine labor, and how we can shift the system to value creators—not just trends.
