Title: Miscellaneous Objects Kate Sheppard Teaspoon Archives reference: ABKH 7367 W4437 Box 100/ NF415 <a href="https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=17049096" rel="nofollow">www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=17049096</a> This commemorative teaspoon, featuring the image of Kate Sheppard, was produced as part of events celebrating 100 years of Women’s Suffrage. In 1893 Kate Sheppard and her fellow suffragists gathered the signatures of nearly 32,000 women to demonstrate the groundswell of support for their cause. A 270-m-long petition – then the largest ever presented to Parliament – was unrolled across the chamber of the House with dramatic effect. Despite the opposition of Premier Richard Seddon, the Electoral Act 1893 was passed by both houses of Parliament and became law on 19 September. The news took New Zealand by storm and inspired suffrage movements all over the world. In 1993 the Suffrage Centennial Year Trust was launched and funded a number of activities commemorating the 1893 suffrage petition and 100 years of electoral franchise for Women. These included events and publications celebrating women and the vote, and commentary regarding challenges, both historical and contemporary. The teaspoon above is an example of the merchandise or products that were produced to celebrate or advertise the 1993 Suffrage Centennial Year. In some cases projects produced regalia as part of their work, where this is the case the project number is noted on the list in Archway. This material was transferred to Archives New Zealand from the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. The international significance of the 1893 Women's Suffrage Petition has been recognised by its inclusion on the UNESCO Memory of the World register of documentary heritage.
