Kia Ora Siyona,
ReplyDeleteI think that you are right about Kate Sheppard; she was a very brave woman, and we are lucky that she fought for women's voting rights.
I'd love to know more about what you think about the fact that women in Saudi Arabia were only recently awarded the right to vote. Do you think that's fair? Why/why not?
Hazel :)
