Ruby Thoma
Ruby Thoma, born Ruby Dediya in 1949 in Nauru,〔''(Developing a More Facilitating Environment for Women’s Political Participation in Nauru )'', South Pacific Forum〕 is a Nauruan politician. After completing secondary school in Australia, she was trained as a nurse at Epworth Hospital in Melbourne. She graduated from the University of Otago Christchurch School of Medicine and became a midwife in Nauru.〔 Entering politics, she stood as a candidate for the 1983 general election, in the Anetan/Ewa constituency. She was supported by a group of women who helped her in her electoral campaign, arguing that voters would benefit from having an educated woman, able to defend the interests of women and children, in Parliament ; since the country's independence in 1968, all members of Parliament had been men. She encountered resistance, including from female voters who told her that politics should rightly be left to men. She was unsuccessful.〔 ==Election to Parliament==
Standing as a candidate again in the 1986 general election, she was elected, becoming the first woman MP in the country's history.〔 There were no political parties in Nauru; all members of Parliament sat as independents, constituting informal coalitions.〔(Nauru : 1986 and 1987 elections ), Inter-Parliamentary Union〕
