Joan Daniels

Joan Daniels, (1930-2024) a pioneer for women in the Australian print industry, leaves a legacy defined by courage, determination, and groundbreaking achievements.

After the sudden passing of her husband, Frank Jr , known as Mick, Joan assumed leadership of Frank Daniels, a printing company that started in 1902 and employed 200 staff. 

As the first woman to lead a printing company of its kind and the first woman to join the Board of the Printing and Allied Trades Employers’ Federation of Australia (PATEFA), Joan’s remarkable career serves as an inspiration for all women in print. Her passion, dedication, and commitment to the industry have paved the way for future generations to excel in an industry once dominated by men.

Joan’s trailblazing journey embodies the strength, resilience, and leadership that Women in Print aims to build in our community.
