Australia is a developed nation where women play a role as important as the men in nation building. Catherine Helen Spence became Australia’s first female political candidate while Edith Cowan was the first woman elected to an Australian parliament. Australian women be it the aviator Maude Bonney, the doctor Dame Jean Macnamara, or  Louise Mack, the first female war correspondent, have always been ahead of their counterparts in other countries. Australians have always been brilliant at sports as the nation’s first female Olympians Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie did their country proud, as did Evonne Goolagong Cawley, who was one of the world’s top tennis players during the 1970s.
