Edith Dircksey Cowan Memorial, Clock tower memorial at Kings Park entrance, Perth, Australia.
The six-meter-tall Donnybrook freestone clock tower features a bronze plate with Edith Cowan's portrait and commemorative inscriptions at its base.
The memorial, completed in 1934, stands as the first civic monument in Australia dedicated to a woman, honoring Edith Cowan's parliamentary achievements.
This memorial represents the recognition of women's advancement in Australian politics, marking Edith Cowan's role as the first female parliamentarian.
The memorial clock tower serves as a navigation point at the intersection between Fraser Avenue and Kings Park Road in Perth.
The Kings Park Board initially rejected the memorial's placement, considering the location reserved exclusively for monuments of national significance.
