This International Women’s Day we commemorate the strengths and inspirational achievements of women, their varied talents and their lasting contributions to the advancement of society and to our state.

She was a driving force in establishing the Working Women’s Trade Union in 1890, which fought for the rights of women in the workforce. Zadow’s work helped set standards across South Australia for women’s apprenticeships, workers’ wages, maximum shift lengths and workplace safety.
