Through her weekly columns, journalist Kathleen "Kit" Blake Coleman (1856-1915) pushed the boundaries of expectation for women in journalism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This fine silver collectable coin honours this historic woman and her accomplishments. Kit was a woman of many firsts: she made history 125 years ago by becoming North America’s first accredited woman war correspondent; she helped establish the Canadian Women’s Press Club and served as its first president; and later, she became the first syndicated woman columnist in Canada.
