The monument "Resilience" commemorates the first vote by women in a state election in Queensland in 1907.

It also commemorates the Centenary of Suffrage in Queensland in 2005. 

In 1900, all Australian women received the federal vote as part of federation and in 1905, Queensland became the second-last Australian State to grant women the right to vote in state elections.
