In 1902 when New South Wales women celebrated the granting of their
right to vote, suffragist Rose Scott told the male politicians
present that their names would be remembered "not only in the
history of Australia but in that of the world," while the names of
the women would be forgotten. Her words have held true for the best
part of this century, until the publication of this book. Woman
Suffrage in Australia tells the story of the struggle for female
enfranchisement from the first stirrings of the movement in 1880,
as it gained momentum and South Australian women were given the
vote in 1894, to the success of the suffragists' campaigns when the
vote was granted in 1902 by the Commonwealth. The author considers
the international ramifications of the victory of Australian women
in attaining the vote, comparing their struggle with that of the
suffragists in America and the United Kingdom, who did not succeed
in being granted the vote until 1918 and 1920 respectively.
