: A suffragette and pacifist when neither was popular.  An early Australian woman parliamentarian, persistently, although unsuccessfully standing for Federal Parliament in a time when women did not stand for public office, or hold jobs, ....  She addressed the US Congress - a remarkable thing for an Australian woman of any generation.--AYArktos 09:27, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In Australia the women campaigning for the vote are usually called "suffragists" not "suffragettes" which is the UK term. I want to change Vida's description from suffragette to suffragist. This would also delete the link to the definition of the term "suffragette" which refers to a member of the British movement. Does anyone have any objection to this?
:Checking Australian newspapers of the 1910s using Trove, I find Goldstein and "suffragette" occur 473 times against Goldstein and "suffragist" 77, so I'd dispute at least part of your claim. A great many of those appear to be speaking of Goldstein's relation to, or opinion of, English suffragettes, but even restricting the search to the conjunction of the two words (proximity +/- 5 words) "suffragette" wins 19 hits to 2. That said, I'd prefer "suffragist" as a more dignified term, better suited to the subject, for whom C. H. Spence had the highest admiration. Doug butler (talk) 13:20, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
