About this listen
Kit Coleman was a woman; she was also a journalist. When she began her career in 1889, this made her a trailblazer and even a subversive figure. For some people, female journalists were only slightly higher than streetwalkers in the Victorian social hierarchy. For 22 years, she wrote for The Mail and The Mail and Empire newspapers. Then, she struck out on her own as one of the first syndicated columnists in Canada. This episode is about Kit Coleman, the Queen of Hearts.
We would like to thank Barbara Freeman, author of Kit's Kingdom, who provided the voice of Kit Coleman for this episode.
