The ‘Women's suffrage’ protest was a famous protest held in New Zealand. It was first held in the 19th century. The protest was held to give New Zealand women the right to vote. It took a few petitions for ‘Women’s Suffrage’ to be successful in 1893.
Kate Sheppard travelled around New Zealand for 6 years. Her first petition failed in 1891 but she tried again. Another petition was held in 1892 but failed yet again. In 1893 she collected more than 32,000 peoples signatures for her petition, it was taken to Parliament House in a wheelbarrow.
In the early 1800s women had restricted roles, that changed in 1893 when New Zealand became the first self-governing country to give women the right to vote on the 19th of september, in 1893.
Kate Sheppard was a really good leader who fought for New Zealand Women’s rights to vote and have a full role in society.
