Second female bishop Barbara Darling broke ground in Anglican Church

From Australia-

Barbara Darling was Australia's second woman Anglican bishop and retired as Bishop of the Eastern Region of Melbourne Diocese at the end of 2014.

She notched up many significant firsts: the first woman to be given tenure as a theology lecturer at Melbourne's Ridley College, one of the first women ordained in the Anglican Church of Australia, one of Melbourne's first women priests, a first woman vicar, and the first woman bishop in Victoria.

On the day of her consecration as a bishop she was described as having been a role model for all women in the Anglican Church from the time she first became a licensed lay worker in 1981.
