'The inaugural Edna Ryan Awards, known as the ‘EDNAs’, were held in 1998. The awards were created by a group of Edna's friends and the NSW Women’s Electoral Lobby (WEL) to honour her life and work, and to acknowledge the contributions other women make in the areas she cared about.
The EDNAs are a celebration of a political life and an affirmation of feminist activists.'
In 2020 the running of the Awards was taken over by the Older Women's Network, NSW.
