Thursday January 4 2024 The Star Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 9 Feminist pioneer Kate Sheppard also a vegetarian, research finds SUFFRAGIST, social reformer and internationally renowned feminist changemaker are just some of the words used to describe Kate Sheppard, whose leadership was largely responsible for New Zealand becoming the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote in 1893. And to these illustrious descriptors you can also add vegetarian. Kate Sheppard enjoyed a plant-based diet, and she was by no means alone. “There was a clear link between vegetarianism and the women’s suffrage movement around the world – in fact many leading New Zealand suffragists were also vegetarians,” says Te Whare Waiutuutu Kate Sheppard House Property Lead Helen Osborne. Today Kate Sheppard’s house – a charming nine-roomed villa in the leafy Christchurch suburb of Ilam – is cared for by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and is open to the public. Part of Helen’s role is to undertake research on the life of New Zealand’s foremost suffrage leader whose home became the headquarters of a movement that brought about profound social and political change in New Zealand. “Kate’s dietary choices were unusual for her time, with vegetarians often regarded as eccentric and against the mainstream,” she said. “We can learn more about Kate’s vegetarian lifestyle by piecing together some clues from her contemporaries who recorded their thoughts about their beliefs.” A good person to start with is Cantabrian poet, journalist, activist and colleague of Kate Sheppard, Jessie Mackay, who was never backward in recording her thoughts on the evils of eating flesh: “The miseries…(in the world) do not come to us by chance, but by a system of utterly false relations of people to one another and towards the animal creation,” she once Kate W. Sheppard. PHOTO: CLIFFORD, CANTERBURY MUSEUM. wrote. “Jessie Mackay was one of many people who were challenging established beliefs of society – including diet,” said Osborne. “Increasingly the morality of killing animals for food was being questioned.” Although the White Ribbon newspaper – the official publication of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union in New Zealand – never pushed a vegetarian line in its editorial content, it didn’t shy away from raising questions either. One correspondent – JM (possibly Jesse Mackay writing anonymously, but not confirmed) – wrote in a 1908 edition of the newspaper: “So long as animals were killed for food, there must be cruelty and there must be callousness. It is a question for all women whether we can defend our individual complicity in a traffic which inflicts untold pain on the lower creation.” The reformer’s zeal for change is likely to have been encouraged by the position of Ohio-based leader of the international Women’s Christian Temperance Union movement, Frances Willard, who expounded a ‘do everything’ approach to advocating change. As a result, vegetarianism, feminism and temperance – the prohibition of alcohol – were all incorporated into the reform agenda. “Besides this drive for reform, there were other factors at play that influenced the dietary choices of women like Kate Sheppard – including spiritual beliefs,” Osborne said. “Kate was a devout Christian and member of the Congregationalist church, though followers of the growing Theosophy movement – whose beliefs incorporated free thinkers, spiritualists who drew ideas and values from Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and even the occult – embraced vegetarianism along with an agenda for social change.” • Turn to page 10 Walk, Run, Fun! new year sale 50% off DeciDuous fruit trees Apples, Nectarines, Pears, Peaches, Plums. 20% off sHruBs 6km and 12km 17 th March 2024 Supporting charity www.city2surf.co.nz 20% off roses & InDoor Plants VeGe Plants 6 Pack $4.50 or 3 Packs for $12 20% off Perennials 20% off DecIDuous trees 20% off GlaZeD & terracotta Pots anD many more sPecials in store 465 Ferry Road | P: 03 389 4352 Open 9am - 5pm 7 Days www.portstone.co.nz T&C’s apply, While stocks last.
