Vida

This biography explores the remarkable life of Vida Goldstein, a pioneering Australian suffragette and social reformer whose work extended across Australia, Britain, and America. As a trailblazer for women’s rights, peace, and social justice, she broke barriers by becoming the first woman in Australia to run for the Senate and in the Western world to seek a national parliamentary seat. Jacqueline Kent’s engaging narrative highlights Goldstein’s enduring impact on the fight for equality and her defiance of authority in pursuit of justice.
