Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ada Bromham (20 December 1880 15 March 1965) was an Australian feminist and temperance activist. Bromham was born in Gobur to blacksmith Frederick Bromham and Charlotte, née Bradford. She was educated at Yarck before moving with her family to Western Australia in 1893, attending school at Fremantle before becoming a doctor's receptionist. Her mother died in 1908 and she worked at a drapery shop in Claremont, lodging with the daughters of former Fremantle mayor and temperance campaigner Thomas Smith. By the early 1920s, with the business prospering, she began to engage in social issues, and unsuccessfully contested the 1921 state election. She was president of the West Australian Temperance Alliance and secretary of the Australian Women's Equal Citizenship Federation in 1925 before becoming secretary of the Australian Federation of Women's Societies in 1926. In June 1926 Bromham led the Australian delegation to the International Suffrage Alliance Conference in Paris and then represented Australia at a conference of the British Empire League in London on emigration.
