HOW FEMALE SUFFRAGE WORKS IN NEW ZEALAND.
Even Maori Women Vote, But Only Men Hold Office--Lack of Servants Keeps Fair Sex Home.
What about woman in New Zealand? We are arguing for and against woman suffrage in the United States with almost as much theory and as little practical knowledge of the proposed conditions as was the case thirty years ago. Some of us are positive in the conviction that the right to vote would unsex the sex--would harden motherhood and sisterhood into a sedulous mannishness.
Others believe that womanly intuitions would soften the sheer practicality of politics and induce gentleness where roughness has ruled. And for a dozen years we need only have looked to the Antipodes to learn how woman suffrage might work out in practise.
Sometimes women do speak at political meetings, but it generally turns out afterward that they are visiting Americans, or perhaps English women. No, we don't sit on juries, and we don't run for Parliament. The law would have to be changed before we could do so, but I don't believe we want to. Perhaps some time in the future it will come to that, but I think it will be a long time.
