Remembering Helen Leonard – Feminist Leader, networker extraordinaire
Helen Leonard, lobbyist and photographer, documented the activities of many women’s organisations from the 1970s until her sudden death in 2001. Helen was actively involved with numerous women’s groups such as Women’s Electoral Lobby, Nursing Mothers‘ Association and the National Women’s Media Centre.
To celebrate HISTORY WEEK Jessie Street National Women’s Library is hosting a panel discussion to be held at the Library, moderated by Library and WEL activist Jozefa Sobski.
Panellists Anne Deveson, Jean Gledhill, Gael Walker and Eva Cox will discuss Helen Leonard’s life, philosophy and amazing achievements.
There will also be an opportunity to view some of Helen’s photography, and to help identify participants in International Women’s Day marches, WEL conferences and many other activities of women over the years.
Please come along!
