Women & The Law Exhibition September - October 2018

Women & The Law Exhibition September - October 2018

​This year we celebrate 100 years since the passage of the Women's Legal Status Act (1918) NSW which gave women in New South Wales the right to be elected to the NSW Legislative Assembly and enter the legal profession.

The exhibition traces the lives of pioneering suffragettes that lobbied key members of the government, the first women admitted to practice law and our very own first female MP Millicent Preston-Stanley.

Visit the exhibition now to learn about the history of women in our Parliament. WomenAndTheLaw_Internet_949x300.jpg
