This article examines the shifting arguments of opponents and proponents of jury reform in New South Wales in the early twentieth century on the question of female jurors. Drawing on the extensive records held by the NSW Attorney General’s Department, it examines the language and context of three feminist deputations in particular: one led by the Women’s Progressive Association in 1913, one by the Women Justices’ Association in 1932 and one by the United Associations of Women in 1942. The article traces the evolution of maternalist and universalist claims to citizenship in the arguments deployed by the successive deputations and investigates the ideological and bureaucratic background to the intransigent opposition they faced.
