| Summary | "Equal Suffrage in Australia" by Various is a historical account that discusses the experience and implications of women's suffrage in Australia, likely written in the early 20th century. The book describes how women in Australia achieved political equality with men, particularly highlighting the advancements in South Australia. It explores the cultural and social impacts of enfranchisement on women's roles in society, asserting that women's participation in politics has not only been accepted but has also enriched the political landscape. The narrative primarily focuses on Lady Holder's views, who advocates for the naturalness and simplicity of voting for women, contrasting the political landscape in Australia with preconceived notions about women's capabilities in public affairs. The text recounts the initial elections where women participated and mentions candidates like Miss Vida Goldstein, who garnered significant votes despite not winning. It emphasizes that women's involvement in politics has proven beneficial, debunking myths about their political aptitude and suggesting they have taken on the responsibility of voting with respect and sincerity while maintaining their roles in the private sphere. Overall, the book presents a positive view of women's suffrage and its impact on society, aiming to encourage further acceptance and participation in political life.
