Description
This first title in the Carleton Women's Experience Series looks at the lively writing of Kit Coleman, best known as the first accredited North American female war correspondent for her coverage of the Spanish-American War of 1898. The author outlines how Coleman created "Kit" of "Woman's Kingdom" in the Toronto Mail as a journalist adventurous enough to cover a war, and motherly enough to write a popular advice column.
