Women in Wartime

[edit]
  • Tuesday 15 July
  • Talk from 6PM-7PM
  • Editing session for 7pm
  • Research Library, Level 2 Auckland Museum

Throughout history, women have played vital roles in wartime—serving as nurses, signallers, drivers, radio operators, and in intelligence, medical, clerical, and welfare roles. Whether stationed at home in Aotearoa New Zealand or overseas, their efforts were crucial to military operations, yet many of their stories remain untold.

Women in Red

[edit]

This project contributes to the global Women in Red movement which aims to close the gender gap in Wikipedia content. We noticed that the histories, biographies and stories of women during wartime were underrepresented and deserved some attention. We started by creating biography articles about the first New Zealand nurses to see active service in WWI when they were stationed at Apia Hospital in Samoa. As we researched, we started to uncover more incredible women who helped shape our war history. Here are some of our highlights:

Nina May Palmer

[edit]

Nina May Palmer was a New Zealand nurse who served in both the First Balkan War and World War I.

Louise Alexa McNie

[edit]

Louise Alexa McNie (15 July 1879- 9 May 1942) was a nurse in the New Zealand Army Nursing Service Corps and the Samoan Expeditionary Forces in 1914.

Catherine Frances Bryers

[edit]

Catherine Frances Bryers was a Warrant Officer and pioneering figure within the New Zealand Women's Auxiliary Air Force during World War II.
