Women's History Month

Virginia Haussegger has a piece in SMH today about women's history.

Apparently it is Women's History Month, and there is lots we can learn about our foremothers' fight for equal rights. I didn't know about Zelda D'Aprano, who chained herself to the doors of the Commonwealth Centre to protest pay rates being based on gender.

Women's History Month has a website gathering resources. You can find it here.
