- Description
-
Journalist Tina White's weekly "Memory Lane" article in the Manawatū Standard. In the 1890s, women all over New Zealand were doorknocking for signatures on votes for women suffrage petitions. In Palmerston North, 500 names were collected and sent to Kate Sheppard. The influential women who gathered the signatures included Learmonth Dalrymple, Margaret Giesen, Polly Leary and Florence Leary.
On September 19 1893, New Zealand became the first country in the world to give all its women the vote.
