19 September 1893 - NEW ZEALAND IS FIRST TO GIVE WOMEN THE VOTE: Following
some 20 years of activism and a 32,000-signature petition, Governor Lord
Glasgow gives Royal Assent to a bill granting adult women the right to
vote, and New Zealand becomes the first country to achieve the milestone.
US women will gain voting rights 27 years later.
