Corio Shire Council discusses women's suffrage

Wednesday 30 August, 1899 a discussion about women's suffrage at the Corio Shire Council is reported in The Argus. It is clear from the report that women in Geelong had quite a struggle to change attitudes to women's suffrage - the tenor of the discussion is that it was 'undesirable' to give women the vote.
