Being the first for something is always quite an accomplishment, so I am sure that she is quite proud of her accomplishments.

Pamela was certainly a hard worker and obviously very smart as well James Dray . She is very deserving of any/all accolades she has received.

She really was a key trailblazer a lot of women. Somebody had  to do all the work to blaze the trail that she did. :

I'm always interested in women trailblazers and I got fascinated by this and looked up a little more info. Pamela Liversidge broke the gender barrier 150 years after the establishment of the IME. 15 years after her term, in 2012, the second woman President (Isobel Pollock-Hulf) was elected. 5 years later Carolyn Griffiths was elected. With 3 women in the history books maybe their terms will become more frequent.  Thanks for spurring my curiosity.
