Australian suffrage movement
The Australian suffrage movement was a campaign in the early 20th century advocating for women's right to vote and participate in elections. It involved activists, organizations, and protests that challenged societal norms and political barriers, ultimately leading to women gaining voting rights. By 1902, all Australian states had granted women the right to vote, making Australia one of the first countries to do so. The movement was part of broader social reforms and helped promote gender equality in politics and society.
