In this talk the accomplishments of a selection of brilliant, fiercely independent-minded, women botanists of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries will be reviewed. Their work had far-reaching benefits on, amongst other things, the economic development of their countries, conservation management and higher education. One of the ‘Sisterhood’ received the Nobel Prize. Others gained high office in various learned societies and institutions. Several New Zealand botanists will be highlighted.Located in the Treehouse Seminar Room, Wellington Botanic Garden ki Paekākā.
