About the ENID Network
Named after Dame Enid Murial Lyons; the first woman elected to the Australian House of Representatives, and to serve in the Federal Cabinet, the ENID network is an online platform to inspire university women of all backgrounds. The ENID project was originally started by Nina, Adri and Honey in 2016 when they were students at the University of Sydney. Together, they built up the platform with a significant online following dedicated to female empowerment.
In 2019, the ENID Network was passed on to Kate and Amy, who expanded the Network to become an online journalism platform created by and for female-identifying and non-binary Sydney university students. With a strong focus on intersectional feminist issues, as well as personal experiences, ENID is a network of support and empowerment. The team aims for ENID to be a place where women’s voices on a huge variety of topics are celebrated, and where content is shared that can empower and inform our university and its wider community.

ALICE WAIGHTEDITORAlice is a fourth year Bachelor of Commerce student at The University of Sydney majoring in Human Resources and Management.

She is excited to not only see, but to be involved in, making ENID a platform that will become increasingly more integral empowering women in many spaces.

LUCJA JASTRZĘBSKAEDITORLucja Jastrzebska is a Religion, Philosophy and Ethics student from KCL and was on exchange at Usyd. She has written publications for the ENID network. She is too disorganised for someone who claims to be organised and devoted too much time to her bunny.

ROSIE BOGUMILEDITORRosie Bogumil may call Sydney home now, but she originally hails from the small town of Geraldton, Western Australia. Her love affair with writing began at a young age, and soon blossomed into passionate feminist rants. She is also a published poet. Rosie found a home for her (very sarcastic) voice at ENID.
