1894+First+Australian+Women+gain+full+voting+rights

In 1894 Australian Women gained full voting rights. South Australia was the 2nd place in the world to let Women vote. New Zealand was the first place to let Women vote. In 1888 a group of women in South Australia formed a ‘Women’s Suffrage’ program for the voting rights of Australian Women. They had meetings and bought in members of parliament. Before women were aloud to vote men in parliament only had to think about the men’s rights and didn’t have to think about the women’s rights. That was only because it was the men who were voting for them and that’s why women’s rights didn’t matter to the people in parliament because they were not voting for them. back
