South Australian Women's Suffrage League

The South Australian Women's Suffrage League was established in 1888 to advocate for women's right to vote in South Australia. It played a crucial role in the broader women's suffrage movement, organizing campaigns, public meetings, and rallies to raise awareness about women's rights. The League successfully lobbied the government, and in 1894, South Australia became the first Australian colony to grant women the right to vote and stand for parliament. This achievement was a significant milestone in the global fight for women's suffrage, inspiring similar movements across Australia and beyond.
