Podcast appearances and mentions of mary ann colclough

As we celebrate 125 years of women's suffrage, it's time to re-evaluate Polly Plum, once described as ‘a highly controversial public figure for a few years only'. In this Public History Talk, feminist historian and author Jenny Coleman shares some of the lesser-known parts of social reformer Mary Ann Colclough's (AKA Polly Plum) life, and her role in the “first wave” of feminism in New Zealand. She was also a leading educationalist and one of the earliest published female authors in New Zealand. These monthly Public History Talks are a collaboration between the National Library of New Zealand https://natlib.govt.nz/ and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage https://mch.govt.nz/. Recorded live at the National Library of New Zealand, 1 August 2018.
