hi
yes it is as it says 'womanhood' i also think it was the first election where women had the vote in victoria. i'm undecided if i'm going to sell it or not at this stage. if i do i'll let you know.
Probably not used at all? From Googling women were given the right to vote in Vic "in 1908" - there was a State election 29 Dec 1908 so you would assume women voted then. The next State election was not until 16 Nov 1911 - as this right expired 1st Nov 1911, the holder would have had to renew to vote then. All very interesting. As this is no 39805, and only dated 29 Apr 1909, it would appear that a lot of women were keen to take up their right to vote.
