to the right that needs assistance,
to the future in the distance,
give yourselves.’

Women in Australia were granted the right to vote in federal elections through the Commonwealth Franchise Act, enacted on 12 June 1902. This made Australia the first country in the world to give women both the right to vote and the right to stand for federal Parliament.

She was fabulous. Another brave woman fighting the male dominated system at a time when women were not supposed to speak, be seen, have opinions, etc. The nightmare continues
