VALE AILSA ZAINU'DDIN
Ailsa Zainu'ddin died on March 25th, aged 91. Ailsa joined Graduate Women Victoria in 1949, making her our longest serving member.
Ailsa was a pioneer in advancing relations between Australia and Indonesia - in both her personal and professional lives. Her Australian-Indonesian cookbook has influenced the diets and palates of hundreds, maybe thousands of Australians. She will be sadly missed.
