1 ‘The Famous Mrs Fanny Finch’ : One Woman’s Vote Echoes down the Generations Municipal Council Voting Paper from the 1856 Castlemaine Election Cast by Fanny Finch, 1856, Castlemaine Art Museum, M94.15. Ana-Maria Traian , 2023 single work biography
— Appears in: The La Trobe Journal , December no. 108 2023; (p. 78-83)
'The sun is high in the sky. It’s voting day on the Castlemaine goldfields, and people are out and about in the January heat. Many are making their way to the Town Hall to elect their councillors for 1856. From a distance, two women stand out in the crowd. One of them is later described in the Mount Alexander Mail as a ‘coloured lady attired in very bright blue silk with artificial flowers’. Colourful dresses are an uncommon sight in Castlemaine, unless the wearer is Fanny Finch.' (Introduction)
