    Progressive Church Women of Queensland

    In this week's dive into the archives, I came across an interesting report that was featured in the working papers of the first national committee meeting of Australian Church Women (ACW), in February 1965. It was submitted by the Women’s Inter-church Council of Queensland, before the inauguration of ACW, and it shows their desire to be a part of ACW from its earliest days. For the previous two years, ACW had been an interim committee and now its value as a national body for

    We’re only a few days into the annual March Women’s History Month and one full day away from International Women’s Day (IWD), which takes place on 8 March.
