 The early movement mostly concerned the applications of basic human rights to women, including the right to vote, the right to stand for parliamentary election, and protection from sexual exploitation.Mary Lee, an Australian-Irish woman, was influential in garnering support for many women's rights movements in Australia.From 1883 onwards, Lee was involved in the raising of the Age of Consent for girls in Australia from 13 to 16, the founding of The Working Women's Trades Union, and co-founded the South Australian Women's Suffragette League, which led to the granting of suffrage rights to women in South Australia.
