Women's Equal Franchise Association

The Women's Equal Franchise Association (1894–1905) was a women's suffrage organisation in Queensland, Australia. The association was founded in March 1894 at a meeting in the Brisbane Town Hall with approximately 110 members. Mrs John Donaldson was the founding president and Charlotte Eleanor Trundle was the secretary. The initial aim of the association was to secure the right to vote for every adult woman.

Postscript
The 1907 state election, held on 18 May 1907, was the first Queensland state election at which women were entitled to vote. In 1915, women were allowed to stand for election to the Queensland Parliament. The suffrage law extension of 1905 did not extend to Indigenous citizens of the state, male and female, which did not gain the vote until 1962. ==References==
