ANZAC SQUARE WOMEN'S MEMORIAL

This memorial pays tribute to the Australian women who enlisted and died in the First World War. In the form of a fresco, it depicts an infantry battalion ready for attack. It was commissioned by the Brisbane Women's Club, sculpted by a woman, Daphne Mayo, and unveiled by Lady Goodwin, the Governor's wife, in 1932. Part of the funding came from Queensland women, who were encouraged to pay a symbolic shilling.
