Yet, as a state expression of what is valued in society, honours provide a window into shifts in society. This study of dames and knights is undertaken in the context of the changes in the lives of New Zealand women in the twentieth century. Situated in a changing and shifting environment, the honours system has itself changed, influenced by the ebb and flow of the feminist movement, the decline of imperial and aristocratic forces, and New Zealand's evolving independence and identity. At the same time, the system has been in some respects static, slow to respond to charges of being an imperial anachronism, and, despite some change in what areas of service titles were granted for, remaining a gendered space focused on the traditionally male-dominated fields of politics, law and commerce. Studied from a feminist perspective, honours also reveal much about gender identities and roles in twentieth-century New Zealand, both the feminine and, because of the historically constructed dualism, the masculine. Both the patterns evident in the honouring of women at the highest level and the representations of those women found in popular culture display a constant disjunction between discourses of exceptionalism and of conformity to traditional images of the feminine. Women's personal experiences of being honoured with a title for their achievements add a further dimension of complexity to understandings of the significant changes and underlying continuities in the honours system as a gendered space. 11 List of Figures and Illustrations Categories of Service 10 Royal honours applicable in New Zealand between 1917 and 2000 38 Schooling of knights and dames 44 Honours bestowing knighthood in New Zealand, 1917-2000, by precedence 65 "93 Sisterhood Special' 75 Services in the citations or careers of those awarded damehoods, 1917-2000 90 Services in the citations or careers of those awarded knighthoods, 1917-2000 92 Services given by those awarded knighthoods, in five-year periods, 1920-1999 93 Services given by those awarded damehoods, in five-year periods, 1920-1999 94 111 Abbreviations AC Companion of the Order of Australia AM Member of the Order of Australia AO Officer of the Order of Australia ATL Alexander Turnbull Library BEM British Empire Medal CB Companion of the Order of the Bath CBE Commander of the Order of the British Empire CMG Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George CNZM Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit CVO Commander of the Royal Victorian Order DBE Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire DCMG Dame Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George DCNZM Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit DCVO Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order DPMC Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet DNZM Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit FFNZ Federated Farmers of New Zealand FOL Federation of Labour GBE Knight or Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire GCB Knight or Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath GCMG Knight or Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George GCVO Knight or Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order GNZM Knight or Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit ICW International Council of Women lFUW International Federation of University Women ISO Imperial Service Order KBE Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire KCB Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath KCMG Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George KCVO Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order KG Knight of the Garter KNZM Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit Kt Knight Bachelor LVO Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order MBE Member of the Order of the British Empire MNZM Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit MVO (4th) Member of the Royal Victorian Order (4 th class) th MVO (5 ) Member of the Royal Victorian Order (5 th class) MWWL Maori Women's Welfare League NCW National Council of Women NUWSS National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies NZEAS New Zealand Educational Administration Society NZFU New Zealand Farmers' Union IV NZFUW New Zealand Federation of University Women NZRSA New Zealand Returned Services Association OAM Medal of the Order of Australia OBE Officer of the Order of the British Empire ONZ Order of New Zealand ONZM Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit PCNZM Principal Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit QSO Companion of the Queen's Service Order QSM Queen's Service Medal RRC Royal Red Cross RVM Royal Victorian Medal UK United Kingdom WSPU Women's Social and Political Union v Acknowledgements In the course of writing this thesis, I have accumulated many debts of gratitude that I would like to acknowledge.

All of these people have listened to my ideas and provided support and reassurance, for which I am truly grateful. 1 Introduction Knights and dames, the titled men and women 'trailing clouds of aristocratic glory' of one writer's imagination, are no longer created in New Zealand.! In New Zealand, titular honours, those bestowing a title from the monarch on the recipient, ceased in 2000 to be a constituent element of the royal honours system. That system, as in the United Kingdom (UK), has encompassed a range of levels, from hereditary peerages and non-hereditary titles to non-titular awards and decorations for gallantry. The many varieties of honour, some now obsolete and some still in use, and the rituals and regulations surrounding these honours; were woven together to form a complex and shifting honours system, as different strands were discarded or created over time. In tum, the honours system itself has historically formed part of an elaborate web of social precedence. In New Zealand, like its parent system in the UK, the honours system has been the target of some criticism and controversy. There have been accusations of racial and gender inequality, of political patronage and party connections determining appointments, of class bias, and even of a bias in favour of the North Island over the South.2 Yet, according to a 1995 investigation into the system that culminated in recommendations for considerable change, including the removal of titles, there remained 'overwhelming support' for the existence of an honours system as a means of recognising those who have served the world, New Zealand, and their communities? 1 R. Dawe, 'Helen's birthday to become a national holiday', National Business Review, 17 March 2000, accessed from Factiva. 2 The suggestion that a larger number of honours went to the North Island that to the South was made in a 1959 article examining the honours system. Investigator, 'Whom the Queen delighteth to honour: Awards for services in New Zealand', The Weekly News, 11 November 1959, p. 3. For a further example of such criticisms, including that titles were given to 'famous men' for 'services to the conservative ethic', and not to Maori or women, see John Robson, ed., Craccum, vol. 50, No. 14, June 21,1976, p. 5, quoted in C. H. Townsend, 'Political Patronage in New Zealand: An Exploratory Study' (MA, University of Canterbury, 1977), p.

    Inventory for John Logan Campbell Papers MS‐51 Auckland Museum Library Prepared by: Christina Troup, 1966/7; reconfigured by Mary Donald, 2005‐2013; amended and edited by Bruce Ralston, 2014‐ Date prepared: 26 May 2018. The collection currently known as the John Logan Campbell Papers (MS‐51) consists of five separate collections: 1. John Logan Campbell’s personal papers and his business enterprises ‐ these reflect both business and social history from the 1840s to 1910. There is also a section containing papers of wife Emma and daughter Winifred. 2. Cornwall Park Trust Board. Records. Cornwall Park management covering the period 1902 ‐ 1930s. 3. Winifred Humphreys (nee Campbell). Papers, 1910 ‐ 1930s. 4. Russell Stone. Photocopies of documents, a single original letter and donated from other sources. 5. Sir Colin Campbell. Includes JLC’s bible. Size 6.5 linear metres Date range 1806‐1975, primarily 1840s‐1930s Physical description Holograph Printed Plans Architectural drawings Photographs Provenance The Cornwall Park Trust Board deposited the first two collections in 1957. Winifred Humphrey’s papers were gifted from the Alexander Turnbull Library in the early 1960s. May 26, 2018 Professor Russell Stone and Sir Colin Campbell gifted the remainder in 1975. Earlier archival practice clumped like material; hence the collections are catalogued under the one manuscript number – MS‐51. One of the advantages of this ‘clumping’ was to facilitate use; it was easy to add to existing inventories. However, it is current archival practice to maintain the integrity of individual collections through provenance. Today collections are held in their own right and linked through catalogues, indices and finding aids.

  • 2.2 the MONARCHY Republican Sentiment Among New Zealand Voters, Highlighting the Social Variables of Age, Gender, Education
    2.2 THE MONARCHY Noel Cox and Raymond Miller A maturing sense of nationhood has caused some to question the continuing relevance of the monarchy in New Zealand. However, it was not until the then prime minister personally endorsed the idea of a republic in 1994 that the issue aroused any significant public interest or debate. Drawing on the campaign for a republic in Australia, Jim Bolger proposed a referendum in New Zealand and suggested that the turn of the century was an appropriate time symbolically for this country to break its remaining constitutional ties with Britain. Far from underestimating the difficulty of his task, he readily conceded that 'I have picked no sentiment in New Zealand that New Zealanders would want to declare themselves a republic'. 1 This view was reinforced by national survey and public opinion poll data, all of which showed strong public support for the monarchy. Nor has the restrained advocacy for a republic from Helen Clark, prime minister from 1999, done much to change this. Public sentiment notwithstanding, a number of commentators have speculated that a New Zealand republic is inevitable and that any move in that direction by Australia would have a dramatic influence on public opinion in New Zealand. Australia's decision in a national referendum in 1999 to retain the monarchy raises the question of what effect, if any, that decision had on opinion on this side of the Tasman. In this chapter we will discuss the nature of the monarchy in New Zealand, focusing on the changing role and influence of the Queen's representative, the governor-general, together with an examination of some of the factors that might have an influence on New Zealand becoming a republic.
