In 1921, at the age of 60, Edith Dircksey Cowan became the first woman elected to an Australian Parliament. She was a trailblazer, helping to establish the Children’s Court, the King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women, and the movement to give all women the right to vote. 100 years after her election to parliament, her legacy still burns bright. Named in her honour, Edith Cowan University was the first, and remains the only Australian university to be named after a woman: https://s.ecu.edu.au/30

A bronze statue honouring Edith Cowan, the first woman to be elected to any Australian parliament, has been unveiled on St George's Terrace in Perth's CBD. 2021 marked the 100th anniversary of Edith Cowan's maiden speech to Parliament. Inspired by this, Sandy Anghie, a City of Perth councillor at the time, proposed a statue to honour Cowan on St George's Terrace. Her initial proposal was rejected, so Anghie and her husband decided to fund the statue themselves. | ABC Perth
