Woman Voter of To-day
"\7OU ask me whether I think it is of importance that women got the vote in 1893," said a woman voter of to-day. "Of course I do, and so would any thinking woman. It isn’t the vote in itself that is important nor any specific piece of legislation that has been passed since: it is just that until women are recognised as having the same rights and citizenship as men, women will shelve their responsibilities to the community. "And," she added, "both in New Zealand and in England there is still quite a long way to go before women have equal rights with men. The executive committee of the golden. jubilee of Women’s Franchise in New Zealand have a programme of rights for which women still have to press, some political and some economic. We still have to convert public opinion to acknowledge the right of women to have the same pay as men if they do equal work, and we still have to press for family allowances."
T 8.12 p.m. this Friday, September 17, Station 2YA (replaced by 2YC if there is an Election address), is scheduled to present a special Jubilee programme entitled "Votes for Women."
