Described as a 'university within a university' the ASCM was especially important for women, encouraging them to develop academic interests and leadership skills. With national and international influence including its exploration of Australia's place in the Asia Pacific region and opposition to racial discrimination at home and abroad, the organisation has inspired academics, politicians, public servants, business leaders and clergy to put their faith into action.
In A Century of Influence Renate Howe draws on a rich range of material from libraries, private collections and oral histories to tell the story of a movement whose influence has extended well beyond its formal membership.
