Jessie Street, Australian activist (d. 1970)

Jessie Mary Grey, Lady Street (née Lillingston; 18 April 1889 – 2 July 1970) was an Australian suffragette and campaigner for Indigenous Australian rights, dubbed "Red Jessie" by the media. As Australia's only female delegate to the founding of the United Nations in 1945, Jessie was Australia's first female delegate to the United Nations. She was Lady Street by her husband Sir Kenneth Whistler Street. Street ensured the inclusion of gender as a non-discrimination clause in the United Nations Charter and led the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs to campaign for the enfranchisement of Indigenous Australians in 1967.
