SUFFRAGE DAY CELEBRATIONS IN CHRISTCHURCH:
WOMEN PAST & PRESENT
Join Women on Air for our celebration of Suffrage Day -
Friday 19 September- White Camellia Day - the Day the Vote was Won!

And this year, with the general elections coming up, very important that we use our vote, won for us by those amazing women in 1893.
7.30pm Christchurch Girls' High School Auditorium -
A Night with four fantastic NZ women writers;

MEGAN HUTCHING has produced 6 books of oral histories of WW2, and in her new book, Over the Wide and Trackless Sea, she has chosen 11 pioneer women and girls of NZ, who came here from Dalmatia, Britain & Denmark. Some will be familiar - Lady Barker & Betty Guard - do you know about Amey Daldey, Juliette Daniell & Catherine Ralfe?? These are wonderful stories,full of humour, soul-searching & exasperation, about their trials & triumphs, told as much as possible in their own words. A wonderful gift for younger women too.


VIRGINIA PAWSEY from North Canterbury & JANICE MARRIOTT from Wellington, will have a conversation that brought about COMMON GROUND - the letters written to each other for a year - two very different women & their friendship - both with a passion for gardening & letter writing, who met up at a school reunion after many years.
A real delight - their gardens & daily lives couldn't be more different.

And one of our favourite Canterbury poets, BERNADETTE HALL, will end the evening reading some of her recent poems.
