[1977]

In 1977 the Women's Artists Group organized the Women's Art Environment at the Canterbury Society of Arts. The artists exhibiting included Joanna Paul and Allie Eagle. "The event was conceived as an opportunity for women to come together in one place to discover their particular identity as women, in a situation where their expression would be uninhibited by men. The exhibition was opened exclusively to women for the first five days ... The objects which remained on display after this were evidence of the deeply felt need of the participants to search for the sources of their identities as women " -- The Press, 11 June 1977, p. 22
