Fifty Years Ago This Month
OMEN in various parts of \X/ New Zealand regard this as a very important month. Why? Not merely because it is Election month, but because 50 years ago, on September 19, the Earl of Glasgow affixed his signature to,a Bill giving women the right to vote for members of the New Zealand House of Representatives, But has this really been important either for New Zealand or for women? Would there have been any difference in legislation if politicians had not had half an eye cocked at the feminine half of their electors? These are not questions which can be satisfactorily answered, or indeed answered at all, but The Listener has asked questions on Women’s Franchise of three women; one a woman who remembers the passing of the Franchise Bill of 1893, another a woman who played some part as a suffragette in England in the years before the last war, and a third a woman voter of today. * * "es
