Illustrated. John Hall is New Zealand's most significant democratic reformer.
This detailed and absorbing book explores his reluctance to enfranchise men and his unhesitating espousal of votes for woment. It is a biography which breaks new ground, revising the version of the woemen's suffrage campaign promoted in 1993 - the centennial year.
This is the life story of a man who was a major woolgrower, one of the first exporters of frozern meat to Britain and a promoter of the dairy industry. He was also effectively Christchurch's first mayor, the longest serving member of the Canterbury Provincial Council and a politician for nearly forty years, in the General Assembly.
