The Women's Suffrage Petition = Te Petihana Whakamana Pōti Wahine, 1893. Wellington: Archives New Zealand; National Library of New Zealand, 2017.

In case 6 we take a look at some of the women behind the suffrage petition and women’s voting rights. The Suffragists examines some of the higher profile women who drove the suffrage movement. The Women’s Suffrage Petition takes us behind some of the petition pages and explores the personalitiles behind individual signatures. Māori Women and the Vote reminds us that wāhine Māori were battling on two fronts: supporting the general women’s suffrage movement but also striving for equality within Te Kotahitanga. This unassuming little volume packs a wealth of information about Māori women’s involvement in the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, women’s suffrage and Te Kotahitanga and profiles some of the individual women involved.
