By this point, she had become a prominent advocate for second-wave feminism, a period marked by generational disputes surrounding discussions of feminism. She was also an exceptionally astute and strategic activist. The Women’s Electoral Lobby was her brainchild. WEL She had a commanding presence in Australian politics.
