Mary Tabor

Description

A portrait of Mrs Mary Tabor, who was the Dairy Supervisor at Canterbury Agricultural College from 1889-1908.

Mrs Tabor lived locally at Lincoln and was a signatory to the Women's Suffrage Petition that was presented to parliament on 28 July 1893. The right to vote in parliamentary elections was granted for all women in New Zealand on 19 September 1893, after years of work and many other earlier petitions had been organised and submitted, but defeated.

Mary Tabor resigned her role as the College Dairy Supervisor at the end of 1908, and moved to Waimate to live with her son. Mary died in 1922 aged 77.

A camellia hedge was planted in 1993 to commemorate women's suffrage
