      Hey guys,

I was thinking about what I should write today, and I think I have the perfect thing.

Have you ever wanted to be born in the 1800s or the 1950s? Did you think it would be fun, because there was no TV, no cellphone (that's what I thought)!

But as I searched about those time periods, it was not that great for girls.

 I searched up women teacher rules.  You will find a list of rules, a long list of what women were not allowed to do when they were a teacher.

 

When you read this you find you can't marry when you are a women teacher.

When they are teachers, I feel they are giving up a lot of their freedom.

In 1919 no married women were allowed to work as teachers, for it was frowned upon!

In 1935 in the women's contracts if they got married they lost there jobs.  But when the Second World War started with the shortage of men married women were able to teach.  The World War II started 1 September 1939 and ended on the 2 September 1945.  After this women were allowed to be married and work as teachers.

Women's vote

Did you know the years before 1893 women in New Zealand were not allowed to vote?

Did you know the years before 1920 for the USA women were not allowed to vote? 

 

Kate Sheppard led the suffrage campaign.  On the 19 September 1893 governor Lord Glasgow signed a new Electoral Act into law.   New Zealand  was the first self governing country in the world where women were allowed to vote in elections. For Kate Sheppard's role in New Zealand history she has been acknowledged and her picture is on our 10 dollar note.

 In the early 21st century NZ women have held authorized positions: Prime Minister, Governor-General and Chief Justice.

As for Great Britain and the United States and some other country's, women were not allowed to vote until after the First World War.

In August 18 1920 in USA women were signed over rights to vote.

Which I have to say is amazing, that women in New Zealand were allowed to vote before the rest of the world.  GO NEW ZEALAND!

I hope you guys have learned something today.  I really had fun and did learn a few things.

Have a wonderful day!

Welcome

                
                                Welcome
                     Hey guys,


               Welcome to my blog and my very first post. I'm Suzy your friendly blogger:)

                                                       Let me tell you about myself
                                                              - I love reading
                                                              - I like writing poems and stories
                                                              - I love hanging out with my friends
                                                              - Movies (well who doesn't)
                                                              - I love chocolate
  Okay, lets get into it!!!

                                                                    Wonder: Book V's Movie
           I know this came out in 2017, but who can't love this cute, amazing movie.

  
   So I actually read the book first then watched the movie. The reason why I did that is so I can kind of judge the movie. For "Wonder" I found it was very close to the book.
I found the book in a second hand shop and I bought it, at the time I was staying at my Grandad's house. I had told him about the book, so he wanted to read it, I let him borrow it. He read it for the rest of the afternoon and finished it the next afternoon. He was crying at the end of the book and asked me if it was base on a true story, sadly yes.
Things I did not like in the book/movie

1. They say the Lords name in vain too many times.
2. They celebrate Halloween 

Overall it was very good book and movie.
If I was you, check it out,  you should.
 Enjoy!!!

                                                   A Poem  A Week

                               "Darkness"

                                                        Darkness has taken hold of me.

Every time  I try and get away, to just get a glimpse of the SHINING LIGHT of the cross. It surrounds me with it's darkness, it tells me of my darkest sins, it tells I'm not worth it.  It tells me I'm a nobody. But when it's not looking I turn and run to the cross the SHINING LIGHT the hope. The place where darkness can't take hold of me. Then I heard a soft voice that says "Welcome home child".  For the cross has freed me.
