Kate Sheppard
Kate Sheppard was a prominent New Zealand suffragist who played a crucial role in the women's suffrage movement. Born in 1847, she became the face of the fight for women's voting rights in New Zealand, leading campaigns that ultimately resulted in women gaining the right to vote in 1893. Sheppard's tireless advocacy and ability to mobilize public support were instrumental in this historic achievement, making New Zealand the first self-governing country in the world to grant women the right to vote. Her legacy continues to inspire generations advocating for gender equality.
