The edges of the covers are chipped; there's a blank book plate, my unsuccesful effort to hide a red biro squiggle beneath; the back cover and back paste down have been enthusiastically scribbled over in pencil, and the paste down sports another small red biro squiggle. Internally the book is squeaky clean and the binding solid. Includes a ticket to the 10th Mary Owen Dinner. "Mary Owen, born 1921 Balwyn, Victoria, Women's Liberationist and Trade unionist, was founding Coordinator of The Working Women's Centre Melbourne, 1975-1986, when it was absorbed into the Australian Council of Trade Unions. She was a staff member of AAESDA (Association of Architects, Engineers, Surveyors & Draughtsmen of Australia), 1965 -1975; a member of WEL from 1972; and a member of La Trobe University Council 1983-1990. She was appointed Deputy Chancellor of La Trobe University 1989.In 1986 the first Mary Owen Dinner was organised in Melbourne to celebrate Mary's retirement. Held annually, the event lasted twenty years. There was always a female keynote speaker and the audience, normally in the order of 600 women, wearing the feminist colours of purple, green and white, was a sight to behold. The last dinner was held in 2005.Mary Owen was a very early supporter of the Australian Women's Archives Project." (From the Australian Women's Register)
