Women Now
A new book Women Now - the Legacy of Female Suffrage looks at what has been achieved, 125 years since New Zealand women won the right to vote - and incorporates objects from Te Papa's collection. Twelve essays make up the book, bringing together strong local voices including Sandra Coney - women's health advocate, writer and local body politician. Women Now is edited by Dr Bronwyn Labrum, head of NZ and Pacific cultures at Te Papa Tongarewa. On 19 September, exactly 125 years since Aotearoa became the first self-governing country in the world to grant women the vote, Te Papa will open a pop-up exhibition and launch the new book by Te Papa Press.
