Claremont Teachers' College, founded in 1902, is a constituent campus of Edith Cowan University, which celebrated its centenary in 2002.

This book documents Claremont's contribution to Western Australian life and culture through stories of its women graduates. The book includes powerful stories of political activism, gentle accounts of nurturing children, stubborn resistance to prescribed social roles, and significant achievements that have made Western Australia a much better place to live than it might have been without the contribution of women such as these.
