EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Women's Suffrage in New Zealand" takes us back to the 19th century when a monumental triumph for democracy occurred. The image showcases a pivotal moment in history, capturing the essence of female empowerment and emancipation. The scene is set in Devonport, Auckland, where women gather together with determination etched on their faces. They stand tall and proud, ready to exercise their right to vote. This powerful visual representation symbolizes the hard-fought battle these women waged for equality. The print was originally published in The Graphic on January 27th, 1894 - an important milestone that marked New Zealand as the first self-governing country to grant universal suffrage to its female citizens. It serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of those who fought tirelessly for this fundamental right. Through this image, we witness not only a historical event but also a celebration of progress towards gender equality. It reminds us of how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done worldwide. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection as part of our shared cultural heritage. As we reflect upon it today, let us honor those brave women who paved the way for future generations by exercising our own democratic rights responsibly and ensuring equal opportunities for all genders.
