Stephen and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting 101 year old Doreen O'Rourke (nee Meehan), who attended the Melbourne launch of "Pioneers & Suffragists" at the Abbotsford Convent on Saturday, accompanied by her nieces, Jo and Bernadette.
Doreen is a grand-daughter of Catherine Meehan, one of the women featured in the book. She was 20 years old when her grandmother, a pioneer of the Beeac area, passed away.
