Zoe Benjamin

Around 1888 the family moved to Rushcutters Bay, Sydney, and from around 1892 to 1895 she attended Darlinghurst Superior School, otherwise she received private tuition.

[5] In 1924 she established the Free Kindergarten Mothers' Union, and in 1930 founded a holiday home for children of the suburbs to experience a little of country life.

[1] In 1937 she resigned from the Teachers' College to concentrate on parental training, and in 1944 published a pamphlet Education for Parenthood,[6] which was reviewed positively.

She suffered loss of sight in her later years, and completely blind, she died at her Hunters Hill home in April 1962.

A Zoe Benjamin Memorial Fund was established in her name and has made a valuable contribution to the Public Library of New South Wales.
