Description

Published by Clerestory Press, Christchurch, 1998, 262 pages.

In 1917 Bishop Churchill Julius, Anglican Bishop of Christchurch, gave up his home and half his stipend to found a new residential hostel for young women pursuing a tertiary education in Christchurch.

Many who have passed through Bishop Julius Hall have justified the Bishop's sacrifice as they have gone on to juggle family responsibilities with the demands of careers as artists, diplomats, missionaries, teachers, travellers and community leaders of many kinds. The 60 life stories in 'Hall of Fame' lead along exciting paths - through war zones, across deserts, and into the turbulent American South during the campaign for Civil Rights. 'Bish' women's stories are stories for all women. In recording times of triumph as well as moments of unexpected trauma they provide a valuable insight into the changing role of New Zealand women since the First World War.
