Description: In 1890, Rose Birks and her stepdaughter, Nellie began writing letters and attending meetings to help improve the lives of women and children in Adelaide.

Through their friendship with the famous suffragist Mary Lee, they petitioned politicians and lawmakers - and in 1896 they became the first women in Australia to vote in an election.

This book includes striking paintings inspired by the French and Australian impressionist painters, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Fred McCubbin and Arthur Streeton.

A wonderful read.
