  • Wikipedia, viewed Oct. 25, 2017 (Catherine Helen Spence (born October 31, 1825 in Melrose, Scotland ; died April 3, 1910 in Norwood, South Australia) was a Scottish-born Australian author, teacher, journalist, politician, leading suffragist, and writer. In 1897 she became Australia's first female political candidate for the Federal Convention held in Adelaide [where she lived all her adult life]. For several years, Spence was the South Australian correspondent for The Argus newspaper writing under her brother's name until the coming of the telegraph. She was an author of novels: Clara Morison: A Tale of South Australia During the Gold Fever; Tender and True; Mr Hogarth's Will, and some others. In 1888 she published A Week In the Future, a tour-tract of the utopia she imagined a century in the future might bring; it was one of the precursors of Edward Bellamy's 1889 Looking Backward)
