The World's First Lady Mayor was a 1900 New Zealand silent docu-drama film.[1] It is the second-oldest surviving film in New Zealand, the oldest being The Departure of the Second Contingent for the Boer War from earlier the same year.[2]
In the 69-second film, Elizabeth Yates is re-enacting a speech she gave as mayor in 1893.[1] Yates was the first woman mayor in the British Empire when elected mayor of Onehunga, New Zealand in 1893.[1]
Susanna M. Salter of Argonia, Kansas, is widely regarded as the first woman elected mayor in the world.[3]
