"Let not the babies, the wash-tub, or even dinners prevent the women going to the polls."
Amey Daldy, on the first election at which women could vote, 1893.

From the book - "Stroppy Sheilas and Gutsy Girls, New Zealand Women of Dash and Daring" by Sandra Coney 1998.

Like linen off the line, starched, crisp, clean and strong. Glinting reflections of the fibre and fabric of our history. In the limelight, it is not all glitz and glamour, but worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears.

Where to now New Zealand?
