Summer Learning Journey | Day:3 | Women's Rights | Activity:1 | The Right To Vote | (4 Points)

Kate Sheppard was a very famous and important New Zealander. In the late 1800s, she fought for women to have the right to vote in elections. She did this by creating petitions (lists with the names of people who supported her), running public meetings, writing letters to the newspaper, and talking to politicians.

As a result of her hard work, women in New Zealand (NZ) were first granted the right to vote in
1893. This made NZ the first country in the world to give women the right to vote. We call this
right ‘women’s suffrage’.

In honour of Kate Sheppard’s work, the NZ government has put her image on the current $10
note.

__________________________

What To Do:For this activity, let’s imagine that the government decides to create a new $10
bank note and replace Kate with a picture of a different New Zealand woman.

On your blog, tell us who you think the government should put on the new $10 note. Please
provide us with a picture of this amazing woman and a short explanation of why you have
selected her as Kate Sheppard’s replacement.

My Work⬇️

If I had to pick to replace Kate Sheppard from the $10 note I would pick Geraldine Ferraro
because she is a great and smart American attorney (lawyer), and I just think that she is right
for the $10 note! But I will still want to keep Kate Sheppard on our $10 notes! Because she It
just the right person!
