Ruth Hope Crow (née Miller) AM (14 September 1916 – 9 April 1999) was an Australian political activist,[1] social worker, writer, and long serving member of the Communist Party of Australia.[2] Her work ranged from establishing child care centres, youth activities and neighbourhood centres, to campaigning on topics of anti-fascism, urban planning, women's issues and the environment. Crow is credited with mentoring other women in their careers and activism, with the result that 'the whole society was politicised'.[3]
