Description:
Christchurch is proud of one of our daughters, Kate Shephard. She was the leader and figurehead of the suffrage movement that resulted in New Zealand becoming the first country in the world to give women the vote in 1893. New Zealand honours her by having her image on our ten-dollar note.
