By the end of the 1870’s the women’s suffrage movement was well-established in New Zealand, drawing attention from overseas suffragists, notably the liberal philosopher John Stuart Mill, a strong supporter of the British suffrage movement.

 The New Zealand Journal of History, Vol.35, No.2, October 2001 - Faculty of Arts at The University of Auckland, New ...
The paper reveals that during the last two decades or so of the nineteenth century, New Zealand's non-Maori population was overtaken by a strong but short-lived pulse of demographic ageing, defined as an increase in the proportion of people aged 60 years and older.
This, it is argued, was largely a legacy of immigrant flows during the gold rush period of the 1860s and 1870s, accentuated in some degree by the sharp decline in non-Maori fertility that occurred in the 1880s and 1890s.
Consistent with Popper's view that knowledge needs to be subject to criticism and therefore open, it is concluded that traditional tribal communities were closed and this prohibited them from engaging with the new colonizing powers in a context that transcended the limitations imposed upon them by their orthodox framework of beliefs.

 The New Zealand Edge : Heroes : Optimists : Kate Sheppard : www.nzedge.com
The depression of the 1880’s in New Zealand led to an increase in social misery and unrest; problems associated with the Old World – poverty, sexual license and disorder began to become more common.
This required a combination of lobbying sympathetic politicians, preparing pamphlets, editing and writing a women’s page in the national temperance newspaper The Prohibitionist and organising petitions on the issue, which were presented to Parliament.
Sheppard was pragmatic in response, expressing the opinion that her campaigners had succeeded through years of tireless and unmitigated work, and because of New Zealand’s colonial beginnings – it was a kind of ‘political experiment’.
