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.

Niupepa offer a unique source of Māori language text as well as an invaluable historical record of New Zealand’s history from a Māori perspective. The first newspaper in the Māori language, Ko te Karere o Nui Tireni, was published by the government in 1842. From then till the early 1930s, around 40 Māori newspapers were published for various lengths of time. Most Māori papers were gone by the early 20th century, when the Māori language was declining.
Over the last few years the Digitisation team at the National Library have processed more than 18,000 pages from 25 historical newspapers and periodicals, adding them to the Papers Past website. The collection was based on images supplied by the New Zealand Digital Library Project at the Department of Computer Science, University of Waikato.
Chaired by Paul Diamond (Ngāti Haua, Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi), Alexander Turnbull Library Curator Māori.
Basil Keane (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Kahungunu, Rangitāne) has worked as the Ministry for Culture and Heritage’s Director, Māori Digital Projects and has degrees in law and Māori studies. He has worked overseeing all Te Ara content from a Māori perspective, and recently has been involved in research for Te Ahu o te Reo: The Health of te reo Māori in Homes and Communities.
Arapine Walker is the Poutiaki Rauemi with the Services to Schools team in National Library’s Tāmaki Makaurau office. She is a passionate advocate of the Library working with kura kaupapa Māori to develop a more strategic and purposeful relationship, one that seeks to contribute to the revitalisation of te reo Māori and better education outcomes for Māori children.
Tracy Powell is a Digitisation Advisor at the National Library of New Zealand, working on projects and programmes such as the digitisation of historic newspapers for Papers Past.
