The Fourth International Congress
Palmerston North, New Zealand - 1990

Convener(s):
Marion Pybus

Highlight(s):
  • 700 women from Pacific Rim attended
  • Used Maori cultural rites to open and close the Congress
Fond Memories:
It was the singing we did along with the Maori women in New Zealand. I felt a special bond with women from so many different countries as we sang together. I thought, 'if only we could transform the world with the unity we have in this room right now!'
