Anderson, Maybanke Sussanah (1845—1927)

Anderson, whose name formerly was Wolstenholme, was an early Australian secularist. A feminist and educationalist, she published and edited a fortnightly paper, The Woman’s Voice, which in 1894 she described as “democratic but not revolutionary; womanly but not weak; fearless without effrontery; liberal without license.”

She published articles by Mary Wollstonecraft and Annie Besant. In 1899, she married Sir Frances Anderson.
