Kate Sheppard

 Hello everyone welcome back to my blog,

Today we're talking Kate Sheppard and the activities that we've done. If some how if you don't know Kate Sheppard I will explain it to you. 

Kate Sheppard was born in 1847 in Liverpool England and moved to Christchurch in New Zealand. In 1868 she married a man called Walter while she was 24 years old. In 1885 she just joined the WCTU, it stands for Women's Christian Temperance Union. She had idea that woman has right to vote. Sheppard travel all around of New Zealand to meet important people like members in Parliament.

In 1893 Sheppard and her team nearly got 32,000 women and men signatures. They did this so women and men can say yes to this. Then she had a petition that was 270 meters long. People were shocked at this. It was showed Parliament how many people signed this petition. But Richard Sodden doesn't like the new rule. However He was out vote. Then they put a law for woman can vote in In September 19th. When Kate Sheppard died she was put on the 10 dollar note.
