SUMMARY
=======
The Kate Sheppard National Memorial, located in the city of Christchurch, is New Zealand's first memorial to the women's suffrage campaign, and particularly honours the life of one of the country's leading campaigners for women's suffrage, Kate Sheppard.The idea for the memorial was raised in 1989 as part of plans to commemorate the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in New Zealand in 1993. A committee was formed to select a design for the memorial, and the design of Dutch-born New Zealand artist Margriet Windhausen was chosen.The memorial is a stone aggregate wall, with a life size bronze relief sculpture of Sheppard and five other women's suffrage leaders. Panels on either side of the sculpture depict scenes of everyday women's lives at the end of the nineteenth century, and carry text describing the struggle for women's suffrage. The whole structure is approximately 5 metres (16 ft) wide and 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall.
The women featured in the sculpture are (from left to right):
Helen Nicol, a women's suffrage campaigner who lived in Dunedin
Sheppard
Ada Wells, a campaigner for girls' education
Harriet Morison, an advocate for working women, also from Dunedin
Meri Te Tai Mangakāhia of Te Tai Tokerau, who approached Te Kotahitanga (the Māori parliament) for women's suffrage
Amey Daldy of the Auckland Woman's Christian Temperance Union.The group of women are depicted carrying their petition for women's suffrage to Parliament in a wooden cart.
The memorial was unveiled on 19 September 1993, the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in New Zealand, by Dame Catherine Tizard, the Governor-General of New Zealand. A time capsule containing news articles and information on women's lives in 1993 was placed inside the monument.The memorial is located in a landscaped area known as the Kate Sheppard National Memorial Reserve, beside the Avon River and adjacent to a heritage building, Our City (the Old Municipal Chambers). This building was damaged in the 2010 Canterbury earthquake and the memorial was behind barricades while the building was assessed. In a ceremony presided over by the Mayor of Christchurch, Lianne Dalziel, in June 2014, the memorial was liberated from the barricades and public access was restored.
Kate Sheppard House in Christchurch For Sale
Kate Sheppard House is one of the most iconic private homes in the whole of New Zealand. This is the property from which Kate Sheppard planned her campaign to convince Parliamentarians to pass legislation to give women the right to vote, making New Zealand the first self-governing country in the world to do so. In her office, now the Bride’s Bedroom, she wrote countless pamphlets, letters and entreaties. In the dining room she pasted 32,000 signatures of support to rolls of wallpaper which were later unrolled on the floor of Parliament by Sir John Hunt. Today she is memorialised with her image on the $10 note, a bust in the halls of Parliament and a large plaque on the banks of the Avon.
2018 is the 125th anniversary year of these tumultuous events.
Kate Sheppard House, exquisitely extended and renovated, sits on an acre in the heart of the city and is, today, For Sale for the first time in 33 years.

Change our ways or change our $10 note…..
For years Kate Sheppard has had pride of place on our $10 note, as a symbol of our progressive nation.
But how progressive are we really? Because for every $10 men earn, women only earn $9. Perhaps it’s time we retire Kate from our currency, and put a man in her place. Or maybe it’s just time to put our money where our mouths are.
Join the debate #demandequalpay

Leading the charge to win women the vote, Kate takes on the patriarchy, public opinion and even Prime Minister Richard “King Dick” Seddon. The smash hit of the 2015 Christchurch Arts Festival returns “bursting with wit, verve and righteously rocking tunes”

Power company Orion, Lyttelton Port Company and Christchurch International Airport would remain on the Council’s list of strategic assets, requiring a special public consultation process before the sale of any shares. The Mayor’s proposal will be debated on 23 June when the Council meets to adopt the Long Term Plan.
