Kate Sheppard Camellia Silk Scarf 

Celebrating 125 years of Women’s Suffrage

Celebrate 125 years of women’s suffrage in New Zealand with this limited edition Kate Sheppard Camellia Silk Scarf. In 1893 New Zealand became the first country in the world to give all women the right to vote. Kate Sheppard was most significant as leader of the Suffrage movement in New Zealand but continued to work at home and abroad for women’s rights.

This beautiful 100% silk scarf is 88cm square and emblazoned with white camellias. It also features Kate Sheppard’s signature as found on the successful 1893 petition making it a practical but beautiful statement for gender equality.

A special variety of white camellia was released for the centenary in 1993, and named the Kate Sheppard camellia. The white camellia was a symbol of New Zealand’s suffrage movement. In 1893 members of the House of Representatives who had voted in favour of women gaining the vote were given a white camellia flower by the suffragists. Those who had voted against were given a red camellia.

Designed in collaboration with Museums Wellington and the National Council of Women to celebrate Suffrage 125. A portion of proceeds from this product will help the National Council of Women with their vision to see a gender equal Aotearoa - New Zealand.

      Size: 88 cm
