Florence Mary Taylor
Florence Mary Taylor CBE (née Parsons) (born 29 December 1879, Bedminster, England and died 13 February 1969, Sydney, Australia) was the first qualified female architect and the first woman to train as an engineer in Australia.〔De Vries, S. 1999. ''The Complete Book of Great Australian Women''. Harper Collins. ISBN 0-7322-7804-X〕 She was also the first woman in Australia to fly in a heavier-than-air craft in 1909.〔 However she is best known for her role as publisher, editor and writer for the influential building industry trade journals established in 1907 with her husband George, which she ran and expanded after his death in 1928 until her retirement in 1961.〔Willis, Julie and Bronwyn Hanna "Women Architects in Australia 1900–1960" Royal Australian Institute of Architects, 2000〕
==Early life==
Florence was born at Bedminster, in Somerset (now a part of Bristol), England to working class parents who described themselves as "stone quarryman" and "washerwoman" in the British census of 1881. Her family migrated to Australia when she was a child, arriving in Sydney in 1884 after a short stint in Queensland. Her father John Parsons soon found work as a draftsman-clerk with the Parramatta Council, and also in the sewerage construction branch of the NSW Department of Public Works.〔 According to her official although unpublished biography by Kerwin Maegraith, Florence attended a nearby public school where she says she received a "good education".〔Hanna, Bronwyn Hanna "Absence and Presence, A Historiography of Early Women Architects in New South Wales", PhD, University of New South Wales, 1999, online at http://www.library.unsw.edu.au/~thesis/adt-NUN/uploads/approved/adt-NUN2000.0006/public/01front.pdf〕
