Women's Criterium Series
There used to be a women's criterium series of three street circuits. This was sponsored by UniSA and was generally held at the same place as the men's race, or at the end of the men's race.
For the 2011 edition there was a two-race series called the Rendition Homes Santos Women’s Cup.

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or series:
“Traditionally in American society, men have been trained for both competition and teamwork through sports, while women have been reared to merge their welfare with that of the family, with fewer opportunities for either independence or other team identifications, and fewer challenges to direct competition. In effect, women have been circumscribed within that unit where the benefit of one is most easily believed to be the benefit of all.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson (b. 1939)
“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
