are about place, time, identity and belonging. The women of
Victoria have a connected shared story of suffrage that easy
spans 120 years. The banners were produced to celebrate the
centenary of women voting in Victoria and funded by the State
of Victoria through the Department of Planning and Community
Development in 2009. Ten banners were painted on calico with
a rubber undercoat special paint and the boarded & backed
with satin. The art work and design was drawn from the Tuthill
and union banners of the late 19th century and the herstory
of women voters of Victoria. For more information on where
the banners went, go to: The
