        History

        The Women’s Centennial Committee was founded in 1983 in order to organize series of events for the celebration of the past and present achievements of women at McGill University. The festivities started on 11 September 1984, one hundred years after Lord Strathcona wrote a letter to Sir William Dawson, Principal of McGill University, to establish and sustain a college for Women. The Women’s Centennial Committee was chaired by Arlene Gaunt. Students, staff, graduates and friends were participating in year long plan in order to highlight the role of women at McGill. To this event a book Fair Shake of thirty autobiographies of McGill women was published documenting hundred years of women students at the University.
