Welcome to Wellington and to the 40th anniversary conference of the Women’s Studies Association NZ/ Pae Akoranga Wāhine. We are pleased to be holding this conference at Victoria University of Wellington/ Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui and to have the Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies as our co-hosts. The timing, to coincide with the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand, is particularly auspicious. The Convenors and Conference Committee have worked hard to put together a stimulating programme and associated events and we hope that you find it enriching, thought-provoking and empowering. We encourage you to enjoy the conference and to look beyond to the many suffrage-related commemorative exhibitions and events that the city has to offer. We are particularly grateful the Ministry of Culture and Heritage, the National Library and the Chinese Poll Tax Fund, among others, for sponsoring aspects of the conference.
