| Description |
There were supportive words for the penultimate women’s suffrage petition on 13 September 1892. Margaret Lorimer and 18724 others signed the petition calling for the extension of the franchise to women and, just like a petition in 1891 it comfortably passed through the House of Representatives (the lower house of Parliament) only to be defeated in the Legislative Council (upper house). But change was just round the corner when the Women’s Suffrage Bill finally passed through both houses in 1893 and New Zealand became the first country in the world to grant women the vote. Shown here is the House of Representatives recommendation that the Lorimer and other petitions on the same subject should receive “favourable consideration”.
