More significant women

A second edition of "Significant Women of the Central Coast 2007" has been published as an International Women's Day project.

The first edition was published last year.

It was collated by Ms Margaret Hardy, Gosford Council's Citizen of the Year, on behalf of the Multi Arts Confederation and Friends of Caroline Bay Inc and printed by Gosford Council in March.

Women included in the publication have been nominated by their friends and admirers of their work, according to Ms Hardy.

"Most have a social conscience which drives them to make a difference, correct injustices, create works of art, or are creative in their approach to people and life," Ms Hardy said.

Peninsula News has been given permission to feature the profiles of women of the Peninsula in each edition in further recognition of their contribution to the community.
