It is important that such local history is being recorded, we too often think of small towns and villages being isolated from the great historical movements - they were not. thanks for reminding usAlan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-73162136233121362072013-03-16T16:25:17.301+00:002013-03-16T16:25:17.301+00:00Sometimes I wonder where we would be today, if not...Sometimes I wonder where we would be today, if not for some and most all of those brave and incredibly strong women!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-51468696649158842172013-03-16T16:14:02.751+00:002013-03-16T16:14:02.751+00:00Glad someone was there to move the struggle forwar...Glad someone was there to move the struggle forward with "deeds,not words".

However, it appears from what you have written that the crowd in your neck of the woods were probably particularly well enlightened.<br /><br />We had our own "Emeline Pankhurst" in the form of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Sheppard" rel="nofollow">Kate Sheppard</a>, who appears on our <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1HcCO7W2QZ0/Td_qZbOXOMI/AAAAAAAAMKE/_LagI0RC20A/s1600/nz186b-%252410-2007AAA_f.jpg" rel="nofollow">$10 note</a>, and of course New Zealand was the first country to introduce unversal suffrage in 1893.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-16088990085019889822013-03-15T22:07:08.451+00:002013-03-15T22:07:08.451+00:00My friends and I portrayed suffragists in a 1890s ...My friends and I portrayed suffragists in a 1890s themed parade once. It was the year of the US election where Bush was reelected and the information slips we were handing out with historical information on women's rights to vote were suspiciously accepted, haha.
