The Revival
of Grace
Grace Emily Munro
Munro House pays homage to Grace Emily Munro, the remarkable activist who founded the Country Women’s Association.
Strong, progressive and sophisticated, Munro was a Renaissance woman of her time whose legacy endures today. Born in Sydney in 1879, Munro was a woman of broad talent—an accomplished horse rider, markswoman and gardener. She was able to transition effortlessly between her active, rural lifestyle and high-society Sydney. Munro experienced many fortunes, yet she also knew the hardships of the Australian outback in the early 1900s. After losing her youngest son in 1911 due to poor medical facilities, Munro became determined to improve rural healthcare. She trained as a sister of St John of Jerusalem, organised first aid classes, worked for the Red Cross during the First World War and became the first woman to serve on a New South Wales hospital board. In 1922, Munro founded the Country Women’s Association (CWA)—a non-profit organisation dedicated to the welfare of women and children living in the country.
The CWA’s headquarters were established at 11-13 Greenknowe Avenue, Elizabeth Bay, with the goal of providing a better life ‘for women, through women and by women’. As president, Munro led the association to secure women’s representation in government, to open numerous maternity wards and healthcare centres, organise training and build a supportive community. Today, it is the largest voluntary women’s organisation in Australia. Munro’s incredible achievements are honoured through her name—emblazoned on the entry of Munro House.
