We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.

I would remind you that Kate Sheppard was a leading member of the Women's Suffrage movement in New Zealand and New Zealand women were the first in the world to vote in 1893
