    Women's Suffrage Celebratory Brunch - 125 Years On

    On the anniversary of last year's election what better thing to do than have brunch with three Doctors and a Dame (Dame Annette King, Dr Megan Woods, Dr Bronwyn Labrum, and Dr Charlotte MacDonald) as they discuss New Zealand's suffragists and women's rights over the last 125 years.

Dr Bronwyn Labrum (Head of Pacific and New Zealand Cultures at Te Papa), will be taking about their latest book she edited - Women Now: The Legacy of Female Suffrage. 

Bronwyn will then lead a discussion with a panel around the history of New Zealand's suffragists and the progress of women's right over the last 125 years. Panelists include: 

  • Hon Dr Megan Woods MP (another historian), 
  • Dame Hon Annette King
  • Dr Charlotte MacDonald (another historian & Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Aparangi) 


These women are all engaging speakers so expect fun, learning new things, enjoying good stories, and a lot of laughter - as well as a tasty brunch!
