Marie Tulip

Marie Tulip (12 March 1935 – 19 September 2015)[1][2] was an Australian feminist writer, academic and proponent for the ordination of women as priests.[3]

In 1968 she was a founder of Christian Women Concerned, the first explicitly religious feminist organisation to emerge in Australia. The group published Magdalene, of which Tulip was the editor.[3]

In 1973, she was appointed co-ordinator of the Australian Council of Churches (now the National Council of Churches in Australia) Commission on the Status of Women, an initiative of Jean Skuse. She was also a member of the National Women's Consultative Council, established in 1984. She taught courses in feminism and religion at the University of New South Wales.[3]
