2023 $1 KATHLEEN "KIT" COLEMAN: PIONEER JOURNALIST FINE SILVER PROOF DOLLAR

DESCRIPTION 

In a time when women journalists were limited to writing about the female perspective and women’s issues, Kathleen “Kit” Blake Coleman (1856-1915) paved the way for better representation in newsrooms and a more equal standing for Canadian women in other aspects of life. The 2023 Fine Silver Proof Dollar pays tribute to one of Canada’s most successful early presswomen. A pioneer of Canadian journalism, Coleman made history by becoming North America’s first accredited woman war correspondent. She also helped establish the Canadian Women's press Club in 1904 and served as its first president, and later became Canada’s first syndicated woman columnist.
