Back in the 1800s when Louisa Lawson was a young woman, men scoffed at ‘this nonsensical idea of giving women the vote’. However, for Louisa Lawson it was simply ‘a just privilege so long denied’.

Louisa Lawson was a writer and a newspaper editor as well as being the mother of four children including Henry Lawson, well-known Australian writer and bush poet. The Woman at the Back of the Room is a short story of just over 1500 words.
