You Daughters of Freedom : The Australians Who Won the Vote and Inspired the World

For the ten years from 1902, when Australias suffrage campaigners won the vote for white women, the world looked to this trailblazing young democracy for inspiration.

Clare Wrights epic new history tells the story of that victoryand of Australias role in the subsequent international strugglethrough the eyes of five remarkable players: the redoubtable Vida Goldstein, the flamboyant Nellie Martel, indomitable Dora Montefiore, daring Muriel Matters, and artist Dora Meeson Coates, who painted the controversial Australian banner carried in the British suffragettes monster marches of 1908 and 1911.
