Women's Suffrage (New Zealand) | Many Answers On 19 September 1893 New Zealand became the first self-governing country to enfranchise women or give women the right to vote. Voting rights for women or women’s suffrage began in the late 19th century. Kate Sheppard was the most prominent leader of the suffragist movement in New Zealand.
