Vida Goldstein was the first woman to campaign for elected office for a national parliament in the English speaking world. It was the election of 1903, Ms Goldstein ran for the Senate in the Australian parliament, and she lost! Her launch speech was at Portland in Victoria and podcast guest Prof Clare Wright read it aloud for the Sydney Writers Festival's 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen' event in 2022. In this episode, Clare talks about Vida Goldstein's speech, but also her place in the women's suffrage struggle of the 1880s and 90s. She explains quite brilliantly how that period of women's history unfolded, and how Australian women became leaders on the world stage helping other white women win their struggles in the UK and the USA. Vida was an invitee to the Roosevelt White House, and helped and inspired Emmeline Pankhurst. Clare also explains that the early suffragists did not help indigenous women win or in the case of South Australia, retain the vote. They were products of the White Australia' era they inhabited.

Vida Goldstein was the first woman to stand for the fledgling Australian Senate in 1903. She was a reformer, a campaigner for social justice and a member of the global suffragette movement.
Australia’s most celebrated crusader for the rights of women, Vida Goldstein, came to global prominence as the first woman in the Western world to stand for a national Parliament in Victoria, for the Senate, in 1903. Her entire life she remained a fighter for equal rights for women at a time when women were slaves in all but name, and was a fierce champion of social justice. During WW1 she turned her attention to the peace movement and campaigned through writing, speaking and campaigning against conscription and the censorious war time legislation of Billy Hughes.
Bruce Shapiro discusses the latest revealing book on President Trump and the unprecedented fires that are burning on the West Coast.
Vida Goldstein was an Australian suffragette and social reformer. In 1900 she founded the Australian Woman's Sphere, a monthly journal which advocated for equal rights for women. With the support of the newly formed Women's Federal Political Association, Goldstein was one of four female candidates to stand for federal parliament in 1903, the first at which women were eligible to stand. While unsuccessful, she continued to campaign for women's rights and interntional peace, running in the 1910, 1913, 1914 and 1917 elections. As a committed pacifist, Goldstein helped found the Women's Peace Army, an anti-war organisation, in 1915 and was Chair of the Peace Alliance. These groups were among the first to oppose the war, but also were among the first to be censored. In September 1914, the offices of The Women Voter were raided in attempt to stop publication. On 5 October 1915, Goldstein published an open letter to the Members of the Commonwealth Parliament in her newspaper The Woman Voter. In this open letter, she speaks out against conscription and 'the gradual but steady loss of the great Bulwarks of Liberty, a Free Conscience, Free Press, Free Speech'. For MTC Audio Lab's Great Australian Speeches, Director Petra Kalive has reimagined Goldstein’s open letter into a speech, read by Marg Downey.

In conversation with Genevieve Jacobs, Wright will tell the story of that victory—and of Australia’s role in the subsequent international struggle through the eyes of five remarkable players: the redoubtable Vida Goldstein; the flamboyant Nellie Martel; the indomitable Dora Montefiore; the daring Muriel Matters, and the artist Dora Meeson Coates, who painted the controversial Australian banner carried in the British feminist activist marches of 1908 and 1911.
