Dunedin City Library is hosting an exhibition to celebrate New Zealand's role in women's suffrage.
On September 19, 1893, New Zealand became the first country in the world where women had the right to vote in national elections.
The library exhibition, on the first floor of the Moray Pl library, will display suffrage materials until September 26.
More information is also available on line at www.dunedinlibraries.govt.nz.
