Jessie Mary Grey Street was an Australian diplomat, suffragette and campaigner for Indigenous Australian rights, commonly referred to as Mrs Kenneth Street, but later dubbed "Red Jessie" by the media. As Australia's only female delegate to the founding of the United Nations in 1945, Jessie was Australia's first female delegate to the United Nations, where she ensured the inclusion of sex as a non-discrimination clause in the United Nations Charter. She was Lady Street from 1956, with the elevation of her husband Sir Kenneth Whistler Street.
