Our Centenary of Women’s Suffrage
The final accolade
In 1910 the Senate passed a resolution, which was to be cabled to the British Prime Minister. It concluded:
Because the reform has brought nothing but good, though disaster was freely prophesied, we respectfully urge that all nations enjoying representative government would be well advised in granting votes to women.
This material was originally produced in 2003 by the Office for the Status of Women in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
