Just wanted to make a slight correction to history of women's right to
vote. Australia was NOT the first country to give women the vote, New
Zealand was, in 1893. Australia gave them the vote in 1902.

Hello Beryl


Australia was the first nation in the world to give women the right to vote.

Australian women who were British subjects and aged 21 years or older
gained the right to vote in "State" elections as follows:

New South Wales 1902, Queensland 1905, South Australia 1894, Tasmania 1903,
Victoria 1908, Western Australia 1899,
