The 1891 Women's Suffrage petition (known as 'The
Monster') is a roll of linen cloth about 260 metres
long. Pasted on to it are the signatures of
approximately 30,000 women collected in 1891 which were
presented to the Victorian parliament to urge the
Government of the day to grant women the right to vote.
The petition is an icon of the women's suffrage movement
in Australia. |
