Description

This is a recorded interview with Betty Cuthbert. The project is the North Shore Women’s Suffrage Celebrations 1893 – 1993, and Betty’s story is about Kate Sheppard.

Betty recounts the influence of her ‘Great Aunty Kate’ from her visits to high tea as a child to attributing her strong political sense of women can do anything.
