Celebrate New Zealand women winning the right to vote
On the 19th September 125 years ago a new Electoral Act was signed into law and New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to grant all adult women the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
This event, exactly 125 years later, celebrates women authors; their talent, determination and tenacity to tell ‘our’ stories in order that women of their generation and beyond recognize themselves and feel collective strength through these vital and familiar narratives.

Readings from ‘Bloomsbury Women and the Wild Colonial Girl'
Playwright Lorae Parry has selected some of the most colourful passages of her play ‘Bloomsbury Women and the Wild Colonial Girl’ about the relationship between Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. Readings by Lorae Parry and actor Carmel McGlone.

Stay for book signing and Q&A with Lorae and Carmel.

Parry’s Katherine Mansfield, the ‘colonial’ girl at large in a hard and dazzling world takes us close to ‘the real thing’ … does justice to the amusing, clever, compassionate, constantly self-examining personality it engages with. And it shows us Virginia Woolf as well in a freshly slanting light. – Vincent O’Sullivan.

FREE Eheim Professional II Wet & Dry external cannister filter. Eheim Professional II 2026. This is the newer model to my other free Eheim Professional aquarium filter. See my other post.

Used this filter in my 200 litre tank. I think the capacity of the filter supports a larger tank but I've not checked the details.

Note:
* This one has a broken part. It broke during the Kaikoura earthquake when the shelf it was on gave way. See photo for circled part. We didn't try gluing the part back. We were going to order the part, but decided to get a new Eheim filter instead.
* No filter media included.

Please contact me if you want it.

Eheim 2327 Professional. This is a large external cannister filter with very cool wave action that our fish loved. It also has a built in heater but the thermostat stopped functioning. I used it with the heater unpugged and used a separate aquarium heater. We used it for a 200 litre aquarium. It's brilliant for keeping your aquarium healthy and clean. I'm unsure of the capacity for the filter, but it's more than our 200 L tank. Check my other post for another FREE Eheim Professional filter.

It started leaking and we changed some o-rings but it still leaked. Unsure which seal or o-ring it was and used an Eheim filter our neighbour had given us instead. So we never investigated it further.

Notes:
* Filter substrate chips not included.
* Manual included.

Found an old link describing the filter.

Feminist Engagements in Aotearoa: 125 years of Suffrage and Beyond conference

Opening the 2018 conference 'Feminist Engagements in Aotearoa: 125 years of Suffrage and Beyond' Professor Barbara Brookes delivers this keynote lecture exploring the implications of the transition from ‘family’ to individual income over the course of the twentieth century until today. The conference is hosted by Women’s Studies Association/Pae Akoranga Wahine and the Stout Research Centre for NZ Studies

The power of the purse: Women and money — keynote lecture

Money, it appears, has no sex yet historically it has been allocated by gender, as we know it still is today.
For much of the twentieth century, married women relied on their husbands’ pay packet or more likely a ‘house-keeping allowance’ from that pay packet, supplemented from 1946 by the universal Family Benefit.
Considered as dependents, women had no access to loans or mortgage finance. That notion of dependency was under attack by the 1960s and 1970s. Financial independence was one of the goals of second wave feminism.

About the speaker
Professor Barbara Brookes, Department of History, Otago University.
Barbara’s research interests include gender relations in New Zealand, and the history of health and disease in New Zealand and Britain.
