Title: From Suffrage To A Seat In The House – The Path To Parliament For New Zealand Women
Author: COLEMAN JENNY

The history of women striving to share in governing the country, a neglected footnote in the nation’s electoral history, is now captured in this essential work by Jenny Coleman. She has drawn on a wide range of sources to create a rich portrayal of a rapidly evolving colonial society.

Jenny Coleman is an associate professor in feminist history and Director of Academic Programmes in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Massey University. She was head of the Women’s Studies Programme at Massey 2000-11 and coordinating editor of the Women’s Studies Journal 2004-09. She has published articles on a range of nineteenth-century New Zealand women’s history topics, and two earlier books through Otago University Press: Mad or Bad? The life and exploits of Amy Bock (2010) and Polly Plum: A firm and earnest woman’s advocate – Mary Ann Colclough 1836-1885 (2017).
