About this audio guide
This guide to the Kate Sheppard National Memorial in Christchurch starts with a close look at the bronze cart six suffrage campaigners are hauling toward Parliament. It then turns to Dunedin in eighteen ninety-two, where a politician speaking for the liquor interests launched a rival petition of his own. Stand facing the wall so you can follow the six figures from left to right.
