The ENID Network is an online journalism platform created by and for female-identifying and non-binary university students. Named after Dame Enid Murial Lyons, the first woman elected to the Australian House of Representatives and to then serve in the Federal Cabinet, the ENID Network hopes to inspire university wom*n of all backgrounds. With a strong focus on intersectional feminist issues, as well as personal experiences, ENID is a community of support and empowerment.
