Introduction

This publication is an update to the Parliamentary Library publication Women parliamentarians in Australia 1921-2013 by Janet Wilson and David Black.

Part 1 consists of tables listing, by parliament, the women elected since 1921, in chronological order of election. The tables include:

• their age at taking their seats
• their party affiliation
• the names of the electoral districts they represented
• their dates of service, and
• the way in which their period of service ended; whether they were defeated, retired, resigned, disqualified or died.

Part 1 also includes a table showing women who have been Members of more than one Australian House of Parliament, and women elected to Australian parliaments classified according to party of first endorsement.

Part 2 includes lists of the women by the date of their election in 15 time periods: ten-year periods from 1921 to 1969, and five-year periods since 1970. The lists are followed by tables summarising the numbers elected since 1921 and the changing percentage of representation since 1970.

The date given for a member entering parliament is the date of the election; where this differs from the commencement of the parliamentary term this date is also given, either in parentheses immediately following the date of election or as otherwise indicated. Because there is such variation between the parliaments regarding the date on which a member’s term ceases, the date of the end of the parliamentary term in this publication, except for premature resignation or death, is the date of the ensuing general election.

Where a given name is bolded or added in parentheses this indicates the name preferred by the member concerned. The designation ‘Dame’ in brackets indicates that the title was awarded some time after the member’s initial entry to parliament.

The sources used to compile the lists were mainly parliamentary handbooks and websites, but other biographical sources were used to fill in some gaps. Each of the state and territory parliamentary libraries provided invaluable assistance in supplying elusive details and in checking the tables, and without their cooperation this project would not have been possible.

Part 1: Women members of Australian Parliaments 1921–2020 by jurisdiction

Listed in order of election for each House of Parliament

In September 2010, the then Chief Opposition Whip, Mr Warren Entsch, advised that LNP Members would nominate to sit with the Liberal Party or The Nationals in the federal Parliament, largely to facilitate their association with their Liberal and Nationals colleagues in other states. The party listings on the APH website are in accordance with this practice. Currently, two female Queensland LNP MPs (K Andrews and A Bell) sit with the Liberals, while one MP (M Landry) sits with the Nationals.
