REMEMBERING UNA GAULT –

FEMINIST PSYCHOLOGIST, FEISTY ADVOCATE, DEDICATED MENTOR, AND VALUED FRIEND

Wednesday 15th May 2013 3:00-5:30pm



Una Gault, psychologist, was born in Young in 1925.  She studied psychology at the University of Sydney and after graduation went to work

for the Department of Repatriation at Concord Hospital.  Una later gained an MA (Arts) and PhD in psychology and worked as a lecturer and

later senior lecturer at the University of New South Wales and Macquarie University in Sydney.  She was an avid feminist and was actively

involved with numerous women’s groups including the Women’s Electoral Lobby, Jessie Street National Women’s Library, Women and Psychology,

Women at Macquarie and Women in Education.  She and four other female psychologists published Emotion and Gender: Constructing Meaning from

Memory in 1992 based on their research using their own childhood memories. Her other passions were literature, classical music, movies, and cats.

She maintained an enormous library, housed in Sydney and Coledale. She remained fully engaged in women’s issues until her death in November 2012.



A celebration of Una Gault’s life will be co-hosted by the Jessie Street National Women’s Library, APS Women and Psychology Interest Group and

NSW Women’s Electoral Lobby.
