About the event
Martha Young was a powerful force in the development of QWHA. She became president in 1954 and under her guidance QWHA membership grew and the collection expanded enormously. Martha initiated the blue plaques scheme and was instrumental in finding the house that would become Miegunyah House Museum.
Sharyn Merkley has looked through her extensive correspondence to gain a glimpse of the person, her ambitions and her influence. Join Sharyn as she delves into this fascinating individual.
