'In December 2022, State Library Victoria celebrates the first year of the Women Writers Fund. The pioneering fund seeks to redress the historical gender bias in the Library’s collection by acquiring works by under-represented women writers. It is helping the Library to fill gaps in all genres and to acquire works that have previously been unattainable due to budget limitations. Generous donations made to the fund have ensured the Library can build its collection into an important resource for all Library users seeking to learn about the impact of women’s writing in this era and on contemporary society.' (Introduction)
