Sommario/riassunto

The definitive account of the New Zealand suffrage movement, <I>Women's Suffrage in New Zealand</I> remains the only study of how New Zealand became the first country in the world to give women the vote. It tells the fascinating story of the courage and the determination of the early New Zealand feminists led by the remarkable Kate Sheppard, whose ideas and attitudes still resonate today.<div></DIV>
