Jean Beadle (born Jane Miller; 1 January 1868 – 22 May 1942) was an Australian feminist, social worker and Labor party member.
She worked in Melbourne's oppressive clothing factories until her marriage to Henry Beadle (a militant and an iron moulder) on 19 May 1888.
[3] Beadle was involved in industrial action, working with striking miners and their families and organised a union of female factory workers.
[citation needed] In 1901 the Beadles moved to Western Australia; Jean Beadle founded the Labor women's organization in Fremantle in 1905, and when they moved to the goldfields in 1906 she formed the Eastern Goldfields Women's Labor League.
[3] Beadle died at home on 22 May 1942[2] and is buried in the Methodist section of Karrakatta Cemetery in Perth.
