Susanne Gether

Susanne Vilhelmine Gether (1857–1943) was a Danish–New Zealand woodcarver associated with The Society of Arts and Crafts of NSW and the role of women.

In 1899 she left for Sydney and ended up in King Street where she continued to teach the same skills as she had in New Zealand but she now had a Danish loom.

[1] In 1907 the high profile Australian Exhibition of Women's Work took place in Melbourne[5] which had been organised by the Governor General's wife, Lady Northcote.

[6] The other artists associated with the Women's Work exhibition included Muriel Mary Sutherland Binney,[7] Portia Geach, Eirene Mort, Dora Serle, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and Agnes Goodsir.
