 New Zealand women's suffrage movement history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
New Zealand was the first country in the world to grant women the vote and congratulations poured in from suffragists elsewhere: the achievement of New Zealand women gave 'new hope and life to all women struggling for emancipation'.
New Zealand was becoming a mature society in terms of gender balance, urbanisation and industrialisation, but in the 1880s the country entered a period of economic recession which would last to the mid 1890s.
