RE: Women in History: Caroline Chisholm: Australia's first feminist?
Fabulous post. I have heard of her name but didn’t know her story. I’m guilty of not taking enough interest in Australia’s history beyond high school. I didn’t know about her inspiring story and what a champion she was to women and the poor. My family are immigrants of the Vietnam war in the 70s and I’m grateful here was where we ended up. I love Australia. It was wonderful to read a piece showcasing a familiar name I read in the passing on buildings and plaques and getting a bit of education of their namesake. Had a reminiscent moment seeing the old $5 too. They should have continue with her image because she is an important part of our history worth remembering.
