Remember - 1893 - New Zealand was the very first country to grant the VOTE to WOMEN. It was many years later before the same happened in UK and USA. Women are climbing the ladder increasingly in New Zealand, but there is still much resistance by males in powerful positions as well as in families.
Equal pay is always an issue and though the gap has narrowed, it is still significant. Women must continue to demand equality of opportunity, promotion where deserved and equal pay for equivalent work.
