Indigenous Woman

Kia Ora,

 

The indigenous woman I admire is Kate Sheppard

 

If I had to pick any women, it would be Kate Sheppard, the reason why is that she was a role model for giving women the right to vote.

Kate Sheppard was born in Liverpool, Liverpool is located in the northwest of England. Her parents are Jemima Crawford and Andrew Wilson Malclom.

 

Kate Sheppard is recognised as a leader of the fight to win the right for New Zealand women to vote.

I admire Kate Sheppard because she tried so hard to give women the right to vote in New Zealand.

It took her 1 day and 4 hours to get from England to New Zealand

Kate Sheppard’s nationality is New Zealand.

 

It took Kate Sheppard 42 years to give women the right to vote.

Kate Sheppard inspired me by being the only woman standing up and giving the women the right to vote.

Kate was the editor of The White Ribbon.

The White ribbon was the first newspaper to be owned, managed and published by women. 

 

Kate Sheppard has three siblings, she has a sister Isabelle May, and her brother Frank Malclom, Robert Sheppard.

Kate Sheppard’s full name is Katherine Wilson Malclom.

When Kate Sheppard moved to New Zealand, Kate Sheppard was in her early twenties.

My connection with Kate is she lives in New Zealand and that I live in New Zealand as well.

Kate Sheppard had one husband, Walter Sheppard.

Kate Sheppard is on the 10 dollar note, because she gave women the right to vote. Kate Sheppard is 87 years old.

 

Kate inspires me by being a good leader.

Her eldest sibling, Marie, was born in scotland.

Her father was born in Scotland in 1819.

Kate passed away in Christchurch, New Zealand, at the age of 87.

Her only grandchild, Margaret Isobel Sheppard, died in 1930.

Kate had a strong sense of responsibility towards other people, especially those in need.

She believed that women could not make any changes needed in society without first winning the right to vote.
