In 2003 a group of Gawler women, with the support of the Zonta Club of Gawler, sought to redress the absence of women's contribution to the history of Gawler. The collection of histories they compiled was entitled the "Significant Women of Gawler Project" and was produced on a website and published as a book:
Mansutti, Elizabeth (2010) 'Backwards and in High Heels: stories from the Significant Women of Gawler Project', Significant Women of Gawler Project, Gawler. (ISBN 9780646539324)
The website has been retired, but to view an archived version click here.
