“Today in Women’s History”
Today we honor Kate Sheppard.
Her massive petition helped make New Zealand the first country to give women the vote in 1893.
One signature page at a time, she rewrote the rules.

“Do not think your single vote does not matter much. The rain that refreshes the parched ground is made up of single drops.”
— Kate Sheppard
We have power together.
Our collective strength is our power.
Stronger than any one drop — no matter how big.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
“All that separates, whether of race, class, creed, or sex, is inhuman, and must be overcome.“
#KateSheppard, suffragist (10 Mar 1847-1934)
I Love Books I love books! Books in the library, books in the shops books underneath and books on top books in a pile, books by themselves books on all the classroom shelves books in my bedroom, books on the floor books I've never seen before books with stories, books that rhyme books I want to read all the time books with pictures, books with words books about castles and fairies and birds books with pop-ups, books with flaps books with buttons, books with maps books that whisper, Come and take a look, I love books books books books BOOKS!
