Summary

"The Library is named after Jessie Street (1889-1970) an activist who worked tirelessly to improve the status of women, both in Australia and overseas. The decision in 1989 to establish a national women's library for Australia coincided with the centenary of the birth of Jessie Street. Jessie Street was a vigourous activist, campaigning for equality of status for women, equal pay, appointment of women to public office and their election to parliament. She was interested in the plight of Jewish refugees, the social and political status of the Aborigines and the question of peace" -- Website.
