New Zealand has come a long way in the 125 years since women won the vote. But are we there yet?

Are We There Yet? – Women and Equality in Aotearoa is a contemporary exhibition taking place at Auckland Museum from July 6, 2018. While celebrating the historic anniversary of suffrage in Aotearoa, Are We There Yet? – Women and Equality in Aotearoa also looks at the successes and speed-bumps of gender equality in New Zealand.

This enriching exhibition aims to reach out to all New Zealanders through thought-provoking information around equal pay, legal rights, body image and more.

The exhibition highlights the Kiwi women you have heard of, and many you haven’t: from Kate Sheppard, Meri Te Tai Mangakahia to Elizabeth Yates, Are We There Yet? – Women and Equality in Aotearoa draws on untold stories and features New Zealand women in the arts, business, politics, sports, science, and other sectors who have contributed to advancing equality for women.

 

When: 6 July- 31 October, 2018. 

Where: Auckland Museum, Special Exhibition Hall.
