The State Library of Victoria has launched a public appeal to curate a collection about the life of Helena Cass
Helena Cass, a Canadian-born Australian wartime nurse and Melbourne socialite who turned to journalism after her career soldier husband died, was a woman ahead of her time.
Cass died in Melbourne more than half a century ago at the end of a long life that, while remarkable for its cultivated eclecticism, inquisitiveness and daunting energy, has slipped largely from public memory.
