Acknowledgements
We would like to acknowledge:
- Dr Emma Grahame and Rachel Grahame, the project's researchers, who identified 753 women in the research phase of the project. They have provided a comprehensive listing, incorporating much material that was previously scattered and/or inaccessible, now gathered together for the first time. The success of the project is due in large part to their enthusiasm and diligence in identifying information about this large group of women from many disparate sources.

- Robert Lawrie, Manager Parliamentary Archives, Parliament of New South Wales, who provided valuable assistance to the research effort.
