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

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, which currently features only male statues.
