the skinny-dipping suffragette from Pelham Crescent.
Two members of the Muriel Matters Society, headquarters in Adelaide, have been here recently and would love some more memories, they are intrigued that her later life in Hastings seems to have disappeared from the collective memory.
She stood as a Labour MP for Hastings in 1924 (but was defeated) and came here to live in the later 1940’s, early 1950’s, living here until she died in 1969.
She is known variously as Muriel Matters, (Mrs) Muriel Porter, and Muriel Matters-Porter.
Any information at all, please email to marijsak@gmail.com and/or Frances.Bedford@parliament.sa.gov.au
Many Thanks
