Vida goldstein and the english militant campaign

Although most feminism develops within a national context and draws on particular national myths and beliefs, this article argues that the international dimensions of feminism need also to be recognised. This was particularly so for Australian feminists who, as colonials, had a complex relationship with England. In some ways the early granting of women's suffrage reversed the normal roles between colonies and imperial power, as Australian women often came to England to help their less fortunate sisters with their struggle. But exposure to the militant campaign brought them into contact with a range of feminist ideas and relationships which often caused them to re-think their own position and brought to light conflicts and tensions which had not previously been exposed
