'Australia From a Woman's Point of View' is a humourous book, in light
of today's society, by the very conservative, Miss Jessie Ackermann, a
missionary for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, who visited Australia
four times. It was published in 1913 and describes the new role women
were gaining in Australian society.
It was the first book published by a woman that concentrated on Australian
women, women's suffrage and their new found citizenship, including the right to
vote, but not equal pay, with men.
It briefly describes different areas which changed for women, including:
political settings, religious, industrial, social and home settings.
