Kate Sheppard National Memorial, Suffrage memorial sculpture in Oxford Terrace, New Zealand.
The bronze and stone memorial features life-sized figures of six women leaders along with panels depicting everyday scenes from the 1890s.
Dutch artist Margriet Windhausen created this memorial in 1993 to mark 100 years since New Zealand granted women the right to vote.
The memorial includes representations of Kate Sheppard, Meri Mangakāhia, Amey Daldy, Ada Wells, Harriet Morison, and Helen Nicol, who championed women's voting rights.
Located beside the Avon River, the memorial measures 5 meters wide and 2 meters tall with informational panels detailing the suffrage movement.
A time capsule containing newspapers and documents about women's lives in 1993 remains sealed within the memorial structure.
