The pioneering spirit of Taranaki is captured by the amazing women who have lived around the mountain. Read about the region's first woman mayor, who got into politics to clean up Eltham. Or find about a woman who scared young reporters into minding their Ps and Qs, along with every other letter and points of grammar. That lady of literature was New Zealand's first woman news editor. There's a sportswoman who became a triple star and is now on the rise as a coach. Learn about an educator way before her time. This woman pushed for pay equity between female and male teachers, way back at the start of the 20th century. Later, we will hear the story of a woman bush doctor; a Taranaki kuia who has lived through unimaginable changes; a nurse who cared for famous chief Titokowaru; and a woman who left a legacy for contemporary artists.
