About Women's History Month
Women's History Month was initiated in Australia
by Helen Leonard, Convenor of
the National Women's Media Centre. It was her vision, drive and
commitment that made the establishment of WHM in Australia possible.
Gillian Polack provided the technical expertise. She developed the
web resources and put the program in place on-line.
Women's History Month was launched at Parliament House, Canberra,
Australia in March 2000, by the President of the Senate, Senator
Margaret Reid on behalf of the
National Women's Media Centre. Following the untimely death
of Helen Leonard, it has become a project of the
National Foundation for Australian Women. >>More>>
