“Kit” Coleman: A journalism pioneer and a woman of many firsts.
Pencil to paper to precious metal: In 2023, Canada’s Proof Dollar honours the journey of pioneering journalist “Kit” Coleman.
Known to her many readers as “Kit,” Kathleen Blake Coleman (1856-1915) made history by becoming North America’s first accredited woman war correspondent, the first president of the Canadian Women’s Press Club, and the first syndicated woman columnist. In 2023, the journalism pioneer is honoured on Canada’s Proof Dollar, which is included in this seven-piece set.
