The World's First Lady Mayor (1900)
The World's First Lady Mayor (1900)
Overview
Shot in 1900, the film is of Elizabeth Yates, a trailblazing woman elected Mayor of Onehunga in 1893 – just a few weeks after New Zealand women became the first in the world to win suffrage and the right to vote in a general election. Created by Enos Pegler for the Zealandia Living Picture Company, the film is a re-enactment – most likely of a speech Yates gave to the local council. Lacking sufficient lighting technology, many early films were filmed outdoors on a set made to look like it’s inside. This film is no exception – look closely and you will see the ‘walls’ are blowing in the breeze.

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central premise, as indicated by its title, celebrates a significant milestone in gender equality and political representation, aligning with progressive values of breaking traditional barriers.
The movie's title highlights a focus on gender diversity by featuring the world's first lady mayor. However, without specific casting information or narrative details, there is no indication of explicit racial or gender recasting of traditionally white roles, nor is there an explicit critique of traditional identities within the narrative.
Secondary
The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a net impact rating of N/A for LGBTQ+ representation.
Due to the absence of available plot details or character information for 'Coucher d'une Parisienne,' it is not possible to assess any portrayal of transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, the film is rated N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film's title, "The World's First Lady Mayor," explicitly establishes the central character as female. There is no information to suggest this character, or any other established character, was canonically or historically portrayed as a different gender.
