Edith Cowan Edith Cowan was born on August 2nd, 1861 in Geraldton, Western Australia. You might know Edith as the woman who is on our fifty dollar note, for good reason too as she is quite the inspiration! Edith had some sad times during her childhood as she lost her mother and was sent to boarding school until she also lost her father. She then went off to live with her grandmother, who introduced Edith to the value of education. When Edith was 19 she married James Cowan, a police magistrate. Although Edith suffered an unhappy childhood this shaped her to become strong, wilful and kind, especially towards women and children who, through her husband's work she saw struggling with difficulties. Edith helped to start the Karrakatta Women's Club, a place where women could discuss important topics, learn public speaking skills, share books and support each other. This club was the first of it's kind in Australia. She worked tirelessly to protect the rights of women and children and she contributed to paving the way so that we have the rights that we have today. Edith played an active role in the building of safe houses for women and children, a women's hospital, child care for working mothers and a children's court - so that children weren't trialed as adults. In 1921 Edith became the first woman to be elected into Australian Parliament, where she continued to campaign for women's and children rights, migrants and infant health. Edith did all of this while raising her five children and continued her social work after her time spent in politics and now has a university named in her honor and her image on our fifty dollar note!

Floating in the wind As graceful as a leaf Yet as direct as a fly I soar and I dip I Twirl and I float I see and I dive I have ears and I have eyes, Be aware of my presence Can you see me? I can see you In the car, on a bench Or maybe in your slumber Can you hear me? Can you Feel my bite? The cry of an itch Piercing through your skin I am stealthy Attacking the oblivious Stabbing you from behind Like a warrior on a hunt The Mosquito By Emma Pool, age 12 I like to annoy I like to cause trouble My small frame allows me To attack from every direction Creeping through the cracks and the gaps you forgot to fill Perhaps I am smarter than you think I can see past your mirage You’re illusion like hope That I won’t approach Oh you have got it all wrong But you will have to pay You can clap or slap Or bring me to a light But you shall never catch me, A small warrior in a fight Even out of the heat, Or the summer season My bite will still find you Will sink into your skin Will bring tears to the eye As you try to stop the feeling Of the tingle, of the itch Crawling across your skin Like a ripple in the ocean 62
