jan 1, 1884 - Establishment of The Victorian Women’s Suffrage Society.

Description:

Largely due to efforts of Henrietta Dugdale, a key activist in the suffrage movement, the suffragettes began to organise across different states, publishing leaflets, running debates and public meetings, engaging with members of parliament and knocking from door to door to gather signatures on support of women’s suffrage on two important petitions. Gathering over 40,000 signatures, these women’s efforts resulted in around 1% of the entire population of Australia signing to push for women’s suffrage.
