Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: On 19 September 1893, New Zealand women earned the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
In 1893 Kate Sheppard and her fellow suffragists gathered the signatures of nearly 32,000 women, creating a 270-m-long petition. The petition called for electoral franchise to be extended to women, to enable women to vote. The legislation was passed by both houses of Parliament and on 19 September 1893, women’s entitlement to vote became law. These commemorative clay tiles, transferred to Archives New Zealand from the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, were produced as part of events celebrating 100 years of Women’s Suffrage. They are examples of the merchandise or products that were produced to celebrate or advertise the 1993 Suffrage Centennial Year.
