Агнес Гуд

Агнес Гуд, известная как миссис А.К. Гуд (1872-1947) C1932, Южная Австралийская социальная и политическая активистка

Агнес Найт Гуд , урожденный Флеминг (31 января 1872 - 20 февраля 1947 года), наиболее известная как миссис Ак Гуд , был австралийским социальным и политическим активистом . Современный отчет под названием «... энергичный оратор с острым, логическим разумом и опытом, подкрепленным звуковым здравым средством, миссис Гуд была до тех пор, пока ее более поздние годы часто призывались принять публичную платформу в поддержку движений социального обеспечения ». [ 1 ]

Родился в Стратальбине, Южная Австралия , в классе [ 2 ] Джеймс Флеминг (умер 10 марта 1913 года) и Шарлотта, урожденная Найт (умерла 22 января 1919 года), в 1884 году она выиграла стипендию для посещения модельной школы Порт Аделаиды [ 3 ] и к 1893 году квалифицировался в качестве учителя и был отправлен в Кальтови (между Гладстоном и Джеймстауном ) в качестве временного учителя на испытательном сроке. [ 4 ] В 1892 году, как часть своей квалификации, она прошла курс первой помощи, проведенный Ассоциацией скорой помощи Святого Иоанна. [ 5 ] Она вышла замуж за овец Уильяма Эдварда Гуда (см. Ниже) в Порт-Линкольне 11 июля 1896 года; У них была дочь и два сына. Она и дети переехали в Аделаиду ​​в 1915 году. Агнес была основателем вице-президента Комитета по рекрутингу женского государства во время Первой мировой войны и задумал создание Консультативного комитета иждивенцев солдат. [1] She was secretary (1916–1921) and president (1921–1922) of the Liberal Women's Educational Association. She was one of the first South Australian female Justices of the Peace from 1916, and the first to take her seat on the bench with the Stipendiary Magistrate.[1] Her period presiding over the State Children's Court from 1919 gave her a reputation for severity; she famously made a 12-year-old boy who was convicted of stealing six bicycle chains a state ward for six years.[6]

Goode edited the women's page of the Liberal Leader from 1918 to 1924 and supported equal guardianship for mothers, women police, women in juries, equal pay, probation and the National Council for Women. In 1923 she was selected by the Liberal Federation in SA to stand for the Adelaide district seat in the House of Assembly, but was unsuccessful.[1] In 1924 she was appointed "Official Visitor" to the Parkside Mental Asylum.[7] In 1925 she was the first woman in South Australia to win a contest for election to a municipal council when she became a councillor of Hackney ward in the St. Peters Council, and was re-elected unopposed at the next election in 1929.[1] A perennial opponent of politician and publican A. A. Edwards, she unsuccessfully stood against him as a Liberal in 1924 for both the state and council elections:

Albert Augustine "Bert" Edwards (ca.1891–1963) was the antithesis of Mrs Goode; publican of the Brunswick Hotel, the Newmarket Hotel on North Terrace, the Hotel Victor at Victor Harbor, and stalwart of the West Adelaide Football Club. He was a member of the Labor Party. He served on the State Children's Council from 1924. A flamboyant dresser and acknowledged homosexual, he was an effective champion of poor and dispossessed men.[8]
  • Goode and Edwards were candidates for the seat of Adelaide in the House of Assembly elections in 1924. Edwards and fellow Labor Party candidates W. J. Denny and J. Dunn were successful; Goode came a distant fourth.[9]
  • Goode and Edwards were candidates for the Grey ward for the Adelaide City Council in 1924. Edwards topped the poll but had, as Mrs. Goode pointed out, contravened the Act by driving voters to the polling place. She refrained from formally charging him, as this could have given her the seat by default without a fair majority of votes.[10]
  • In 1925 Goode criticised as excessively lenient the jailing for one year of one Kelly, who was convicted of indecent assault. Edwards defended the judge, pointing out that the girl was a consenting party and above the age of consent.[11] (more details needed)
  • In 1927 Edwards criticised her for disallowing a proposed increase in allowances for "State girls" (wards of the State who were "boarded out" with generally well-to-do families or widows as companions and maids-of-all-work) from 2/ to 5/ (shillings) per week.[12]

After being overlooked for the new Liberal Council in 1926 she left party politics and stood as a Non-Party Association candidate for Adelaide, contesting it again for the Liberal Federation in 1927.[6] As President of the Liberal Federation's Adelaide women's branch, she contested the mayoralty in 1935, having continued her disputes with Edwards in the intervening years. Following her husband's death from cancer on 14 November 1929, Goode continued to be active in the community, contributing to societies for poetry, theatre, Aborigines (at their White's River station they employed a number of aboriginal workers, and were known as good employers),[13] housewives (Mrs. Goode was closely associated over a long period with the Housewives' Association, she was the first president in South Australia in 1926,[14] holding office again in 1930), unemployed women, travellers, local industries and kindergartens (she was a member of the executive committee and the organising committee of the Lady Gowrie Pre-School Centre, president of the Stepney Pre-School Nursery committee, and a delegate to the Australian Association for Pre-School Child Development).[1]

She died at Toorak Gardens in 1947 of coronary occlusion and was cremated.[6]

Recognition

[edit]
  • She was associated with the Kindergarten Union in SA for more than 25 years, and in recognition of her service was elected a life vice-president.[1]
  • In 1947 the St. Peters Council agreed to rename the Stepney Free Kindergarten the "Agnes Goode Kindergarten" in her honour.[15]

Family

[edit]

Agnes Knight Fleming married William Edward Goode on 11 July 1896.[16]

William Edward Goode (ca.1857 – November 1929), husband of Mrs. A. K. Goode, was a well-known pastoralist of the West Coast of South Australia. His parents Mr W. and Mrs. Jane Nicol Goode (ca.1817 – 22 March 1901) (nee Hill; her brother was Captain Hill of the Buffalo) came to South Australia on the Asia in 1839.[17] Their only child, he was born in Adelaide and educated at John L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institution, where he won prizes in 1866 and 1868. His father died when he was young,[18] so he was brought up by an uncle, James Anderson, at White's River station, near Louth Bay, between Port Lincoln and Tumby Bay. Anderson and John Tennant were noted for bringing overland the first sheep to the area. Anderson returned to Scotland around 1895[13] (his wife had died there three years previously)[19] and William managed the station for him, and at his uncle's death became owner of the property of around 10,000 acres, which he subdivided in 1907.[20] Mr. Goode was involved in sheep breeding and bee farming, and it was through his advocacy that the first bee farms in the Port Lincoln district were started. He leased the farm to Mr. de Rose in 1908[21] then sold it around 1922 to George Proude.[22] He died at his home in Payneham road, Stepney.[23]

Their first child, a daughter, was named Katanya, an aboriginal term for "first born".[13] Their children were:

  • Nora Katanya Goode (18 March 1898 – 1975) married Frank Best on 19 July 1930. They were divorced in 1953.
  • Evan Anderson Goode (11 September 1901 – 1980) studied law at the University of Adelaide and was admitted to the Supreme Court
  • Bruce Fleming Goode (10 March 1903 – ) studied science at the University of Adelaide and graduated B.Sc.
