Today women play a significant role in the NSW Parliament. Some represent the community as members, ministers and leaders of government; driving legislative review, reform, practices and policies. Others support the Parliament as officers and staff. Whatever the role, the women of the Parliament have helped shape the development of NSW and its system of democratic government" - Foreword.
