Broken Hill Women's Memorial, Granite memorial sculpture in Town Square, Broken Hill, Australia
The memorial consists of two black granite pieces with an engraved family image and inscriptions located in the central area of Broken Hill.
The construction received funding from a surplus collected by local women during the 1986 mining industrial dispute at Broken Hill mines.
The memorial recognizes women who organized protest marches, provided financial assistance, and supported miners through multiple strikes since 1892.
The memorial site functions as a gathering space for ceremonies throughout the year, with access available through the main pathways of Town Square.
The Women's Brigade members directly confronted non-unionized workers at mine entrances and organized community support during labor disputes.
