The GWI 105 heritage WALL
Graduate Women International (GWI) was founded in London in 1919 after the First World War by educators Rose Sidgwick, Caroline Spurgeon, and Virginia Gildersleeve and promotes friendship, understanding and advocacy for women's rights globally.
In 2024 Dr Shirley Gillett, GWI VP Education established the GWI 105 Heritage Wall as a fundraising effort to support the work of GWI worldwide. The Wall has been well supported with currently just over $13000 USD and over 85 bricks bought, from 17 NFA/branch contributors.
It has been a success and I would like to personally thank everyone who has donated.
Many thanks again,
Dr Shirley Gillett
