Women's Suffrage

 Hello readers


Today I had to read a book In my Chromebook. The book was called Women's Suffrage. I even had to answer some questions.

Here are the questions:

1. What year did Maori men get the vote? In 1867.

2. Why did most people think women should not vote? they believed that women needed to stay home, cook, keep the house clean and take care of their child.

3. What does the phrase "drinking their wages'' mean? I think that means men's drinking alcohol with all the coins they have.

4. How did the WCTU help the poor? They went to hospitals and set up a soup kitchens.

5. What was the main form of protest that the women used to change the law? Kate Sheppard and her team wrote to newspapers, gave out leaflets, had meetings and protested. 

6. Why is Kate Sheppard on our 10$ note? I think because she did the right thing to protest.

Thanks for reading my blog I hope you enjoyed it and goodbye.
