Across the road from the imposing King George V Memorial and down from the fluttering flags depicting Australia's (almost all) male prime ministers, a modest sculpture is now in place outside Old Parliament House, showing two groundbreaking women walking to take their place in history.
The sculpture of the first women elected to federal parliament, Dame Dorothy Tangney and Dame Enid Lyons, was unveiled in Canberra on a chilly Wednesday morning, on what was also International Women's Day.
