Kōrero: Voting rights

Pakiwaituhi mō te kōkiri a te wahine i te mana pōti

Woman standing on top of the globe at New Zealand holding Women's vote banner

I te marama o Hepetema 1893 ka whakaputahia tēnei whakaahua ki roto i te New Zealand Graphic. I whakaatu tēnei whakaahua i te whakaaro nui i tērā wā, arā, ki te whakaaehia te wahine kia pōti, ka riro i a rātou ngā tūranga whakahaere o te motu. Ko te kōrero nui o te pakiwaituhi nei, ka taka te mana tāne ki raro i te mana o te wahine.

Hi there, I would just like to point out that in your description you state the cartoon "appeared in the New Zealand Graphic in September 1893." To me this suggests that the cartoon was produced in 1893 whereas I found upon further research it was actually produced in 1891. If this was made more clearer I think would be great and would benefit people doing research. Thanks
