Women and the Vote




On 19 September 1893 – that is almost 120 years ago all women got the vote in New Zealand.  You may not have known that this was the very first country in the world to give all its women the vote.  There were some progressive states in the US that beat this.

 Kate Sheppard one of the famous suffragists in New Zealand is on our ten dollar note.
