Professor Helen Irving of the Law School at Sydney University has launched a new blog, “A Women’s Constitution” for women’s contributions to constitutional thinking and analysis. In her first post, she quotes Elizabeth Ward of New South Wales in 1897: ” a nation with a constitution that does not reflect the interests of women as well as men ‘will be one-sided, inharmonious and dwarfed.'” To find this blog, click on the link below.
