The Statue of Emma Miller is located in King George Square in Brisbane, Australia.[1] It honours the life of Emma Miller, an English-born Australian pioneer trade union organiser and suffragist.[2]
The statue is made of bronze and was installed in 1993.[3] It is placed between two other bronze statues of notable Queenslanders, Steele Rudd and Sir Charles Lilley. The part of the square where the three statues are located is known as Speaker's Corner.[2]
The statue originally included an umbrella, held in Miller's left hand. It has been removed and there is a hand-scratched message on the base of the statue asking where it is.[4]
