Woman Suffrage in Australia : A Gift or a Struggle
Cambridge University Press 1992. 7" wide by 10" tall. A bright clean square tight copy. No owner's name or bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with numerous old prints and political cartoons as well as 16 pages of vintage photos. Bibliographical references. Index. Bound in the original green boards. From the Dust Jacket: "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 book discounts the argument that the women's vote was a gift from benevolent politicians which happened to coincide with Federation by pointing out that there were six state legislatures which conceded female suffrage only after vigorous campaigning by their women. From 1884 when the first suffrage society was formed until 1908 when the last state vote was granted they lobbied politicians presented petitions held public meetings and fought for their voices to be heard in newspapers. During these years the women's claims were widely ridiculed: their opponents argued that any government elected by women would be a 'petticoat government' and many men called the suffragists 'freaks of nature' 'old frumps' and 'gawks' attacking not only their right to representation but also to any demonstration of independent thought. The author analyses the parliamentary behaviour of men who opposed the vote for women and studies the evolving electoral systems. The book is not just the story of the vote however. The study of the various suffrage struggles is set in the context of constitutional changes and political circumstances and the social and economic position of women in a new nation.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine condition./Very Good dust jacket. xiv 263pp. Cambridge University Press Hardcover
