Subscriber only A South Australian social entrepreneur who is also an aspiring surgeon has been crowned the 2021 Young Australian of the Year. Isobel Marshall, 22, of Adelaide, was honoured in Canberra last night for helping disadvantaged women access personal hygiene products and improving education for women in Africa. At 18, Ms Marshall cofounded TABOO, with school friend Eloise Hall, to help women around the world by breaking down stigma around menstruation and providing access to hygiene products. Profits from the sale of the ethically sourced cotton pads and tampons in Australia go to One Girls - a charity providing education to girls and women in Sierra Leone and Uganda.
