The reader's choice list will be revealed ahead of the final match of the series.
1: The very first Test series (1934)
"Women cricketers will have thrilling time" was a headline in the Australian Women's Weekly at the time.
And they sure did.
After 32 days at sea and countless hours on trains, the English women's cricket team arrived in all their finery in Perth in December 1934, ready to tour Australia.
Their captain was Betty Archdale, Australia's was — Margaret Peden who also happened to be secretary of the NSW Women's Cricket Association and tasked with arranging the Sydney Test.
The Australian Women's Cricket Club (AWCC) was betting that the Australian public would be an enthusiastic audience, and they were. The first Test was in Brisbane and 3,000 people turned out for opening day.
The home side seemed to feel the pressure in the first innings, making only 47 runs, before the visitors raced away to 10-154.
But the Australians shook off their nerves for the second innings, notching up a more respectable 9-138.
Despite the home side's best efforts, England was left with a target of only 32.
They quickly collected the runs and with them, the first Test.
England won the second Test in Sydney, but the Australians found their groove in the third in Melbourne, to manage a draw.
It's now 87 years since Margaret Peden and Betty Archdale led their teams onto Brisbane's Exhibition Ground.
A reminder of what's possible, when you step boldly to the crease.
2: Antonio secures Australia's first win (1937)
Australia's "heroine of the hour" in the first Ashes Test on English soil was Peggy Antonio.
The "Girl Grimmett" was in outstanding form in the opening Test at Northampton Country Ground with 9-91, as Australia claimed its first Ashes win.
That series ended in a 1-1 draw, Antonio cleaning up with a total of 19 wickets.
And with that, she was done.
At just 20 years old, three years after her international debut, she retired.
According to the Newcastle Morning Herald: "Australia's best, and most colourful woman cricketer … is, according to her own words, 'fed up with cricket', and intends to do the things she has wanted to do for some years: play golf and tennis and go surfing."
It might have only been a six-Test career, but she certainly made it memorable.
3: Betty Wilson shines (1958)
We're going to call it: Never before has there been a more dramatic Test match.
During the second Test in Melbourne, Australia was bowled out for just 38 runs in the first innings.
But then in came Betty Wilson, who bowled out England for 35, taking figures in that innings of 7-7 — including a hat-trick.
When Australia batted again, Wilson went on to score a century. And, in Australia's second innings with the ball, she took four wickets for just nine runs.
It was a tense fight to the end and the match ended up in a draw.
But Wilson's efforts saw her become the first cricketer, man or woman, to score 100 runs and take 10 wickets in the same Test.
In the third Test of the same series, Sir Donald Bradman went to watch Wilson play at Adelaide Oval.
Faith Thomas, a trailblazer in myriad respects herself, remembered eyeing Sir Donald as just another bloke out to "poo-poo women's cricket" until Wilson unleashed a flurry of shots.
"Everything went for four and God knows what," Thomas said in 2016.
4: Heyhoe Flint's marathon innings (1976)
Rachael Heyhoe Flint was at the forefront of cricket's female revolution.
The long-time England Captain helped create the first Women's World Cup in 1973. She campaigned for, and played in, the first women's match at the home of cricket — Lord's — in 1976. And she was instrumental in the effort to allow women to become members of MCC in 1998.
But, when it comes to the Ashes, her finest hours came in a marathon stint at the crease in the third and final Test at The Oval in 1976.
It was the first time the women had played a four-day Test, and Australia was in a strong position on day three.
But Heyhoe Flint produced a defiant knock of 179 across a record eight and a half hours, to secure a drawn match and series.
She was a powerful force for change and this innings simply added to her status as an English cricketing icon.
5: The dramatic Jubilee (1984-85)
It was the series that led The Sydney Morning Herald to declare: "Women's cricket has arrived as a major sport — still with amateur status and after a gestation period of only 50 years."
The Golden Jubilee series marked a half century since the first Test in 1934, and it was the only women's series to ever be played over five Tests.
It was a classic — a plucky draw salvaged by Australia in the first Test in Perth, a stunning five-run win by the tourists in the second, a draw in the third, a bowling masterclass for Australia to win the fourth, and the piece de resistance — the fifth Test.
The final match was in Bendigo, Victoria, where the first recorded Australian women's game was played in 1874.
Raelee Thompson was Australia's stand-in captain, after Sharon Tredrea was injured in the series opener.
And the pace bowler had the Midas touch, with a career best 5-33 in the first innings.
England set the hosts a target of 116 in 59 overs to win, and three Australian batters were struck with gastro ahead of the crucial chase.
After spending most of the night before vomiting, Jill Kennare made 42 to go with her first innings century.
That was in addition to her ton in the first Test, becoming the first Australian to notch up two centuries in a series.
Another of the sick Aussies, Karen Read, hit the winning runs, as Australia regained the Ashes for the first time in 21 years.
And how did they celebrate?
At a bush dance just out of Bendigo, of course.
6: Finally, some actual ashes to play for (1998)
England and Australia had been contesting women's Tests for more than 60 years, but there had never been a trophy to play for.
Officially, the Women's Ashes were only created in 1998, when about 30 people congregated in the Harris Garden at Lord's.
In a not-so-glamorous ceremony, a miniature bat signed by the Australian and English teams and a copy of the Women's Cricket Association rules and constitution were burnt in a wok — apparently from the kitchens at Lord's — which sat on a pile of bricks.
The ashes of the items were then sealed in a trophy the shape of a cricket ball, carved from a 300-year-old yew tree that fell the year before.
It seemed a bit insignificant at the time, but looking back, it was a moment that will go down in history.
7: Jo Broadbent gets Australia's first double ton (1998)
Only four Australian women have ever scored a Test double hundred — and Jo Broadbent was the first.
Her pioneering knock came in the first Test at Guildford in 1998, after more than eight-and-a-half hours at the crease.
"I was relieved more than anything to get 200 but focusing on what the team were trying to do took my mind off the record," she said at the time.
It was a memorable match for the Australians, with Mel Jones making a hundred on debut in the same innings.
8: Goszko's dashing debut (2001)
Michelle Gozsko stands alone as the only woman in history to notch a double hundred on her Test debut.
"Gozzy" had to take a large chunk of unpaid leave from her job as an office assistant at Coles Myer headquarters to make the tour of England, and her parents helped fund the trip too.
And the 23-year-old from Sydney paid them back in spades.
She smashed 204 out of Australia's first innings total of 344 in the first Test at Shenley.
Then she equalled the record for the highest women's Test score — and how's this for a stat — England's total score for the Test matched Goszko's single innings.
Goszko is still a popular figure in the cricketing community and, after suffering a stroke in November last year, there are fundraising efforts underway to help support the 44-year-old's recovery.
9: Karen Rolton's 209* at Headingley (2001)
Karen Rolton's 209 not out against England broke the then-women's-world-record Test score.
Her 313-ball double ton led Australia to a nine-wicket win and sealed an Ashes series victory on foreign soil.
There were two defining moments in the lead up to the impressive feat.
The explosive batter had almost made it to 200 just three years earlier, powering her way to 176* in the third and final Ashes Test before a declaration cut her innings short.
Her next England tour saw Rolton finally reach the milestone in the second Test, but not before she went for a second-ball duck in the first.
Watching debutant Goszko make it to 204 at Shenley after an early trudge back to the sheds was all the motivation Rolton needed to go big or go home at Headingley.
"I hated watching from the sidelines, especially when I didn't perform," Rolton said.
10: England breaks a 42-year series drought (2005)
In 2005, the last time England had won a Women's Ashes series outright was in 1963.
The next two after that were a draw, then Australia won in 1984-85 and retained the Ashes until Claire Connor's team took the outright win in 2005.
It happened in the second and final Test at Worcester, and the celebrations were something else.
The hosts were set 74 to win, after bowling the Australians out for 232 in their second innings.
England lost early wickets, to be 2 for 3 at lunch, and then slumped to 4 for 39 when skipper Clare Connor (13) and Charlotte Edwards (24) were dismissed.
But Arran Brindle and Lydia Greenway held their nerve to see them home on 4 for 75 for a 1-0 win in the series after the first Test resulted in a draw.
She was referring to the English men's cricket team, which was dominating Australia in their Ashes series.
England was so chuffed with the efforts of the women, the team even had a photo with the Queen and Prince Philip, in the months after their momentous win.
11: Rene Farrell's hat-trick (2011)
A stunning hat-trick from pace bowler Rene Farrell helped Australia clinch victory in the one-off Test of 2011.
England only needed a draw to retain the Ashes and made 207 in the first innings.
Australia was stumbling at 9 for 159 in reply when captain Alex Blackwell shocked conservatives by declaring late on the second day.
Remarkably, her bold thinking paid off — largely thanks to Farrell.
The reliable bowler ripped through England's order, with her maiden Test hat-trick — dismissing Charlotte Edwards LBW, clean bowling Katherine Brunt, and wrapping Danielle Hazell plumb on the pads in quick succession.
That rare feat was not lost on her teammates, who ran from all over the ground to celebrate, right in the middle of the pitch.
Farrell remains just the third woman to take a Test hat-trick, behind Pakistan’s Shaiza Khan in 2004, and Australia’s Betty Wilson in 1958.
Her efforts gave Australia a fighting chance, with more than a day's play to chase down the required 198 runs for victory.
Sarah Elliott (81 not out) and Blackwell (74) finished it off with the bat, but Farrell was dubbed the hero of the match, as Australia won back the Ashes for the first time since 2005.
12: Heather Knight holds England together (2013)
Australia had a firm grip on the only Test of the inaugural multi-format Ashes series, reducing England to 6 for 172 on the second day, with a middle-order collapse.
But then in came Heather Knight, who decided she was going to hold England's flailing innings together.
Knight stood her ground for 338 balls, to make 157 and secure her very first Test century after almost seven hours at the crease.
It was just the boost that England needed in front of a home crowd at Wormsley.
Special mention also goes to Laura Marsh, who was in the middle with Knight and frustrated the Aussies by taking more than six-and-a-half hours to accumulate just 55 runs.
Knight ended up winning Player of the Match, which ended in a draw.
13: Sarah Elliott: breastfeeding and batting her way to 100 (2013)
In 2013 — as part of the Ashes series — Sarah Elliott became the first mother to tour as a member of the Australian women's cricket team.
Remarkably, she also scored her maiden Test century while breastfeeding her nine-month-old child, Sam.
"It was an experience, that's for sure," Elliott said.
14: The catch that went viral (2013)
It was one of the best catches behind the stumps you'll ever see.
In her 13 years playing international cricket, Sarah Taylor was widely regarded as one of, if not the best, wicketkeeper in the game.
Her swift work with the gloves was on show in this particular Ashes ODI in 2013 at Hove, when Australia captain Jodie Fields tried to reverse sweep Danielle Hazell past the keeper.
After seeing a right-handed Fields quickly switch her grip, Taylor trusted her instincts and shifted to the off side, preparing to take a catch before Fields had even struck the ball.
But the best part of the highlight, is when the ball pops up higher and slightly wider than she'd anticipated, and the keeper's incredible reflexes take over.
In a split second, Taylor stretches out and dives to the right, sticking her hand up to pluck the ball from the air at just the right time.
As quick as she was clever, Taylor later divulged that she'd noticed many of the Australian batters were running with a particular tactic to try to reverse sweep England's slower bowlers on that Ashes tour.
"As soon as I saw her hands go, I just went," Taylor told Sky Sports in 2015.
Taylor's catch went viral online at the time, helping to challenge old-fashioned thinking about the women's game and what players were capable of.
Taylor is now continuing to break new ground, working as an assistant coach for Team Abu Dhabi in the men's T10 league in the Middle East.
15: Farrell comes out of retirement to win the Ashes (2015)
In 2011, at the ripe age of 24, Rene Farrell almost walked away from the sport too soon after falling out of love with the game.
But, by 2014, the cheeky pacer had found her way back into the Australian team and she earned selection in the 2015 Ashes squad.
She received very little game time in the UK, playing just one of the ODIs and missing out on Test selection.
So, when she was listed to play in the second T20 match at the back end of the trip with the series on the line, Farrell took the chance to prove she could still be a match-winner.
Her selection proved genius on the day, as the fast bowler made the most of the opportunity, snaring three wickets and pulling off a key run-out to help Australia secure its first Ashes victory in England in 14 years.
Farrell's efforts earned her player of the match honours, as Australia celebrated regaining the trophy.
It was also the last Ashes series Farrell would compete in before announcing her international retirement for a second time.
16: Ellyse Perry's 213* and that premature celebration (2017)
This was unforgettable in every way.
Under the lights at North Sydney Oval, Ellyse Perry celebrated one of the biggest moments of her career, not once, but twice.
It was the inaugural women's Ashes day-night Test, and as a long-time face of Australian women's cricket, Perry came to the crease with the hosts in trouble.
But, seven hours later, she had produced the highest individual Test score by an Australian woman.
Earlier in the day, she recorded her maiden Test ton and, as she inched towards the magical 200, she got down to her last batting partner, number 11 Megan Schutt.
On 194, Perry thought she smacked a six and there were hugs, a kiss of the Australian crest on her helmet, and a bat raise to the crowd until …
It took a few more deliveries, but eventually Perry got to have her moment.
"There was no thought of going as hard again [celebrating], definitely not. Accepted [with] a lot more humility in the second.
17: Amanda-Jade Wellington's 'ball of the century' (2017)
It was a ball that left commentators gushing.
"Amanda-Jade Wellington has bowled an absolute peach.
And the ball later went viral for its comparisons to Shane Warne's 1993 Gatting "ball of the century".
On the final day of the 2017 day-night Test, Australia was in desperate need of a wicket.
Despite outplaying England up until that point — bowling the tourists all out for 280 before declaring at 9 for 448, with a 168-run lead — the hosts were struggling to break the opening partnership of Lauren Winfield-Hill and Tammy Beaumont as they dug in to enforce a draw.
Ultimately, it was the 20-year-old Test debutant that found the breakthrough, drawing inspiration from her leg-spinning hero Warne and the learnings she'd taken having already claimed Beaumont's scalp in the first innings.
The spinner had been chopping and changing between bowling over and around the wicket, trying to use a rough patch to get a bit of spin.
On the second ball of the 32nd over she nailed it, pitching the ball in line with the leg stump, before it turned on a sharp angle to knock the bails clean off the off stump.
Although England was successful in its efforts to hold on for a draw, Wellington's moment on that final day was cause for much celebration.
18: Mooney and Wyatt's twin tons in Canberra (2017)
It was a Beth Mooney and Danni Wyatt showdown in the third Twenty20 international at Manuka Oval, a fitting way to close out the 2017 series.
Mooney had already demolished England in the first T20I, with an unbeaten 86 off 56 balls, ensuring Australia would retain the Ashes.
But she really teed off in the third match, with 117 not out off 70 balls, setting England a record run chase of 179.
Mooney and Australia looked destined to come out on top, but that quickly changed as soon as England opener Danni Wyatt came to the crease.
She became the first Englishwoman to score a T20I century, off just 57 balls, to secure the historic win, and see the Women's Ashes finish level at 8-all.
Wyatt was just as stunned.
It was a spectacular finale in another Ashes epic.
19: Perry skittles England — and then keeps delivering (2019)
Ellyse Perry won player of the match in this Ashes series, and it's not hard to see why.
In the third one-dayer at the Kent County ground in Canterbury, Perry absolutely humiliated England.
She opened the bowling and took a wicket with the third ball of the day, then went on to score figures of 7-22 in her 10 overs.
Then, in the only Test at Taunton, Perry scored her second Test century in the first innings (116), occupying the crease for almost six hours and hitting 16 boundaries. She followed that up with 76 not out in the second innings.
Perry topped the run-scorers for the series, she was also the series’ most prolific wicket-taker.
She also became the first player, man or woman, to reach the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in T20 International cricket.
Perry told 7.30 at the time she hoped the team could "influence a new generation of cricketers to come".
Australia won the series 12 points to 4. They almost had an unbeaten run, but England held on to win the final T20 match.
20: Meg Lanning obliterates the England fortress (2019)
No team had ever beaten England at "Fortress Chelmsford", until Meg Lanning's magnificent day out on July 26, 2019.
The Australians went into the first Twenty20 international with an 8-2 lead in the series, needing to win at least one of the three T20Is to claim the Ashes outright.
By her own admission, Australia's captain wasn't in top form.
But Lanning emphatically roared to life at the Fortress.
She was ruthless with a then-world record 133 not out off 63 balls, guiding Australia to its highest ever T20I total of 3-226.
It was among Lanning's finest innings across all formats of the game, cementing her status as one of her country's greatest batters.
