Hi, I'm a Year 13 student, finishing off a research project on the 1893 Electoral Act (granting women the vote). The Margaret Lovell-Smith Book was a good find for speeches, and articles published. The school library didn't have it, but the local one did, so maybe check all the local ones if you can't find it? I know Takapuna Library in Auckland does. Good Luck!

For those students looking for Kate Sheppard speeches, the best source is: The woman question: Writings by the Women who won the vote, selected by Margaret Lovell-smith, New women's Press, Auckland, 1992.
Note you probably will not be able to find these on the Internet (you may need to tell your teacher this).If it is not in your school library, you may need to ask your librarian to interloan it.

Hi there, I'm a student at Auckland University and I have just written an essay on the suffrage movement. I can't remember where I found it, but here is the speech Kate Sheppard made after women had finally won the vote: “The General Elections have come and gone. For the first time the women of New Zealand have joined with men in choosing members of Parliament, and we have waited with bated breath for the deluge of calamities which it was prognosticated would follow the admission of women into the political arena.” hope this helps :) Scylla
