23 Years of Women in Rotary

It is now 23 years since Rotary were first admitted to Rotary as Rotarians.  Women now hold positions at almost every level of Rotary from club members to club presidents to District Governors, Rotary International Directors and  as Trustee of the Rotary Foundation. 

http://www.rotarywomen.org.au/ is an interesting site that includes a potted history of women in Rotary.

The website http://www.womeninrotary.org/  is firstly dedicated to  Rotary but is a social network for women in Rotary around the world.

Here is the NBC News broadcast on the evening of May 4, 1987 announcing the start.
