Summarise this article in your own words?
Kate Sheppard had to do something about women's suffrage,
because the men were not allowing the women to vote or anything
in the election. All of the men said to women to “stay home and to
look after their children and to stay at their proper place”. Kate
Sheppard was the only woman to save the women's suffrage, and she
did what was right to help the women. Kate Sheppard made the women
proud and made them stand up for themselves, then the men criticized them
to go home. Kate Sheppard was so proud of them.
The petition was more than five hundred pages long and
signed by over 25,000 women. There were lots of women that
voted for the petition. NZ was the first to let women vote. We
should be allowing women to vote in anything or any other election.
