Hello everyone today I am doing a comprehension on Kate Sheppard and the woman suffrage and there are a few answers and questions about the woman suffrage.
And the questions are:
1. What year did Maori men get the vote? Maori men could vote in 1867.
2. Why did most people think woman should not vote. Because they believed that woman needed to stay home, cook, keep the house clean, and bring up the children.
3. What does the phrase "drinking their wages" mean? Spending their wage money on alcohol.
4. How did the W.C.T.U help the poor? Visiting hospital and prisons and making kitchens soups.
5. What was the main form of protest that the woman used to change the law? Speeches
6. Why was Kate Sheppard on the ten $10 dollar note? The prominence given to her suggests New Zealanders' pride in being the first country in the world to grant women the vote, in 1893.
So that is just some questions there but if you want more info I have got a link here.
