In the 1890s Australian and New Zealand women became the first in
the world to win the vote. Buoyed by their victories, they promised
to lead a global struggle for the expansion of women's electoral
rights. Charting the common trajectory of the colonial suffrage
campaigns, Distant Sisters uncovers the personal and material
networks that transformed feminist organising. Considering intimate
and institutional connections, well-connected elites and ordinary
women, this book argues developments in Auckland, Sydney, and
Adelaide-long considered the peripheries of the feminist
world-cannot be separated from its glamourous metropoles. Focusing
on Antipodean women, simultaneously insiders and outsiders in the
emerging international women's movement, and documenting the
failures of their expansive vision alongside its successes, this
book reveals a more contingent history of international organising
and challenges celebratory accounts of fin-de-siecle global
connection. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable
Development Goal 5, Gender equality. -- .
