Kia ora! My area of interest is New Zealand social history, particularly women and women's organisations.

I made my first edit on Ethel Benjamin on 24 October 2015. Just over nine years later, on 20 January 2025, I created my 1,000th article! However, some articles I've created have since been deleted as the subjects have been considered non-notable, so, my goal is to reach 1,000 current articles. I'd also like to have 1000 articles related to women (about 13 articles are on museums, monuments or awards not specifically related to women).

Some of the articles I have worked on include:

Monuments and memorials:

Biographies: NZ

The Connon-Macmillan Brown family: Helen Connon; Viola Macmillan Brown; Millicent Baxter

Playcentre NZ: Gwen Somerset; Beatrice Beeby (nominated for a DYK fact, 13 November 2015); Joan Wood

The Valpy family: Juliet Valpy; Ellen Jeffreys; Arabella Valpy; Catherine Fulton

The Marquette casualties: Nona Hildyard, Marion Brown, Catherine Fox, Lorna Rattray, Mary Rae, Mary Gorman, Mabel Jamieson, Margaret Rogers

  • Gladys Acton-Adams, mountain climber. From Canterbury Museum FB post: Gladys Adams was one of the first European women to reach the peak of five mountains in the isolated and rugged ranges of South Westland during March 1935. Gladys scaled Mt Gordon and Mt Dechen on the first day of hiking, then Mt Gow the next day and Mt Mathers and Mt Matheson on the third day. Just getting to the climbing area was a challenge. Gladys travelled by train, plane and horseback, trekked for 7 hours and spent 3 days trapped by rain in a rock bivouac just to reach the start of the climbing. The following year, Gladys went to Europe and worked for the Red Cross during the Spanish Civil War. On her way back to New Zealand, she visited Kenya where she climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and shot and skinned a python.
