Kit Coleman

"Kit Coleman" (1856–1915) was the ''nom de plume'' of the Irish-Canadian newspaper columnist Kathleen Blake Coleman. Coleman was the world's first accredited female war correspondent, covering the Spanish–American War for the ''Toronto Mail'' in 1898. Coleman also served as the first president of the Canadian Women's Press Club, an organization of women journalists.
==Early life==
Kit Coleman was born Catherine Ferguson to Patrick and Mary Ferguson (née Burke) at Castleblakeney in May 1856 near Galway, her birth is often listed incorrectly as 1864 presuming her maiden name is Blake.〔 Her father was a middle-class farmer. Catherine was educated at Loretto Abbey in Rathfarnham and a finishing school in Belgium. As an adult, she recalled her parents influencing her love of creative activities; her father had given her his love of books, and her mother, who was blind, taught her an appreciation of music and to also how to play several instruments. The strongest influence on her intellectual life came from her uncle Thomas Nicholas Burke, a Dominican priest and a renowned liberal and orator, who taught her religious and social tolerance, an attitude that was reflected in her journalism as an adult.
Coleman married young to an elderly man and wealthy landowner Thomas Willis,〔 the sources conflict stating either at age 16 or 20,〔〔 under her adopted name Kathleen Blake. The couple had one child who died in early childhood, and Willis died soon after.〔 The marriage had not been a happy one, resulting in her disinheritance by her husband's family.〔 She emigrated to Canada as a young widow in 1884. In Canada, she worked as a secretary until she married her boss, Edward Watkins. She lived in Toronto and Winnipeg, where she bore two children (Thady and Patricia) by her second husband.
In 1889, following the death of Watkins, or more probably, their divorce,〔 Coleman first turned to cleaning houses to support herself and her two children, then began writing articles for local magazines, mainly Toronto's ''Saturday Night''.〔
