The Australian Women’s History Network exists to promote research and writing in all fields of women’s history. It brings together scholars, students and others working in this area to exchange ideas, information, support and resources.
We are affiliated with the International Federation for Research in Women’s History, and hold an annual symposium in conjunction with the Australian Historical Association conference in early July each year.
If you would like to join the Network, please see our Membership page. Members receive regular news about events, resources, publications and other opportunities via our email list. They also support the Mary Bennett Prize and other mentoring activities for postgraduate students and early career researchers.
