Summary

'This is the story of the contribution of the National Council of Women of Victoria to social progress in this century - a period which has seen unprecedented change and a dramatic transformation of the position of women in society. The Council was formed in 1902 to meet the need for socail reforms in many fields, and during its 75 years it has acted as a forum for public opinion, a pressure group and an initiator of ideas and new organisations.' - from inside cover.
