We’re thrilled to kick off QMWS100 meetings for 2025 with an inspiring collaboration with renowned sculptor Dr Rhyl Hinwood! Her upcoming tribute to Dr Lilian Cooper promises to beautifully capture the pioneering surgeon’s legacy. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in participating any of of the QMWS100 events.
On 25th January 2025, the QMWS100 Working Committee began digitising the historical contents of the QMWS suitcases at Dr Barbara Woodhouse’s clinic, preserving the society’s rich legacy. The event featured insights from Dr Catherine Yelland and welcomed journalist Bernadette Condren, who will help craft the QMWS Centennial book. If you’re interested in joining us at future meetings, please reach out to the QMWS100 subcommittee at [email protected].
The QMWS Centennial Working Group held its final 2024 meeting, reflecting on key progress including plans for a Dr. Lilian Cooper sculpture, archival preservation, and a travelling exhibition to celebrate the organisation’s rich history. With heartfelt gratitude to members and supporters, the group looks ahead to 2025 to continue preparations for a momentous centennial celebration.
The QMWS100 centennial working group made significant strides at our September meeting, welcoming Dr. Zelle Hodge and Jane Connolly, who contributed invaluable expertise toward plans for a commemorative book and quilt celebrating medical women’s achievements. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 1 October 2024, at 1 pm in the Emeritus Professor Mary Mahoney Boardroom, Herston Mayne Medical School.
