It was 124 years ago today that NZ became the first self-governing country in the world to give women the vote. Remember to exercise that right this election!
"Kate Sheppard and the other suffragists fought for years to give women this right and did this country proud." Since New Zealand was the first country to introduce universal suffrage in 1893,[4] Sheppard's work has had a considerable impact on women's suffrage movements in several other countries. She also appears on the New Zealand ten-dollar note.
My friend was there and her eyewitness account was Kate led the women to lie down on the road, and the police couldn't do anything.
