March is Women's History Month - the 2009 theme Parliamentary Women was launched by Maxine McKew MP in October. Celebrate Women's History Month 2009:
1. Download your very own Parliamentary Women souvenir poster from www.womenshistory.com.au
2. Discover the very first women to sit in the nine Australian parliaments in the WHM 2009 Gallery feature, Pioneering parliamentary women.
3. Find an event near you, on the WHM 2009 Calendar. We are specially pleased to welcome participating bookshops this year - these include Avid Reader in Brisbane, Gleebooks and the Feminist Bookshop in Sydney, and Mary Martin Bookshop in Adelaide. |
4. If you are visiting beautiful autumnal Canberra, you will find special Women's History Month displays at Paperchain Bookstore in Manuka, and the bookshops at Parliament House, Old Parliament House, the National Portrait Gallery, and the National Library. And don't miss the launch of Women Parliamentarians in Australia 1921-2009 at Parliament House on Tuesday 17th March, with an address by Professor Marian Sawer on why 'Women's work is never done'.
