Category: National Council of Women

Categories: New Zealand, Women's Suffrage Organizations

Three years after the vote was won in 1893, a convention of representatives of 11 women’s groups from throughout New Zealand resolved itself into the National Council of Women (NCW). Its aim was to unite all organised Societies of Women for mutual counsel and co-operation, and in the attainment of justice and freedom for women, and for all that makes for the good of humanity. More than a century later, the NCW still works in the interests of women, but it is a very different organisation from that established in the 1890s.
