Tis month Senator Gemma Hussey will have come to the end of her four year term as Director of the Abbey Theatre. She was appointed in July 1974 by Ritchie Ryan. This was a direct result of her involvement with the National Women's Talent Bank and her active campaign to have more women on State Boards and Commissions. She has, for many years, been in the forefront of the women's movement. In February of this year she had a stormy confrontation with George Colley on the issue of married women's taxation.
