Extract

The year 2005 is an important one for Queensland women for three reasons. It is the centenary of women getting the vote (25 January 1905). It is the 90th anniversary of women getting the right to stand for Parliament (23 November 1915). Finally, it is the 76th anniversary of the first woman being elected to the Queensland Parliament (11 May 1929).
