Leontine Cooper (22 April 1837 – 12 March 1903) was a teacher, trade union organiser, suffragist and campaigner for women's rights in Queensland, Australia.
She married Edward Cooper on 31 January 1866 in Hampstead, north London and they emigrated to Australia about 1871.
[2] She was also a writer, with her short stories appearing in The Boomerang and in the mid-1890s she combined two of her interests, as she edited Queensland's only women’s suffrage newspaper, The Star.
Leontine was very well educated and was published several times on the 'letters to the editor' page of newspapers, having commented on issues of the day.
[3][4] Leontine died on 12 March 1903[2] from pneumonia, two years before Queensland women gained the vote.
