The Women's College, University of Queensland is an independent College for women students.
The Women’s College within the University of Queensland was founded in 1913 and admitted 19 women residents on March 16 1914 under founding Principal Anna Frederica Bage MSc DPhil (Honoris Causa). The first University of Queensland college to admit women, it was to be another 35 years before the establishment of another such college. Of the ten colleges now on campus, three are for women only, two for men only, and the others are mixed. There are currently 189 undergraduates and postgraduate women residents within the College.
The College has come to represent integrity and excellence in all things academic, professional and personal. As in many Women's Colleges internationally, such as those which have produced women leaders like Nancy Pelosi, Madeleine Albright, Hillary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, and Benazir Bhutto, it is perhaps in realisation of The Women’s College mission “to foster educated women leaders” that The Women’s College is proud of such former Alumnae as Brisbane’s first woman Lord Mayor, current Queensland Premier, and Ambassadors.
