RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary

There is a perception that from its beginnings in 1909, the Royal Historical Society has been the domain of men. Yet from the outset, women have played an active role in the Society in many capacities – as members, councillors, fellows, employees, volunteers, patrons, benefactors. The RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary has been established to honour the contributions made by women to the Society, particularly those who do not appear in the Australian Dictionary of Biography or Women Australia or The Australian Women’s Register.
