Kate Sheppard Woman's Rights - By Giselle

Kate Sheppard was born on the 10th of March 1847 in New Zealand. Kate Sheppard had a passion of woman's rights, so in the late 1800 she protested and fought for woman to be able to vote in elections. She did this by writing letters to the news paper, running public meetings,talking to politicians and making petitions.

By all her doing, women in New Zealand were able to vote in 1893 and New Zealand was the first country to allow woman to vote. Also for Kate Sheppard's good deed she was printed on the NZ 10 dollar note.

Kate Sheppard's Might and strength will never be forgotten.
