A Work in Progress: A History of the YWCA of Canberra, 1929-2009

In A Work in Progress, the YWCA of Canberra looks back at eight decades of service, advocacy and community-building. The book documents the personalities and the ideals that brought the YWCA to Canberra, and then kept it growing and changing through the Depression, the Second World War, and the upheavals of second wave feminism. It includes anecdotes, memories and images from previous and current service users, members, Board and staff.
