Ella Cora Hind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ella Cora Hind (18 September 1861 – 6 October 1942) was Western Canada's first female journalist and a women's rights activist.
Born in Toronto, she moved to Winnipeg in 1882 where she was unable to get a job with the Free Press. She decided to work as a stenographer, but continued to write and submit articles she had written on agriculture to the newspaper. Finally, in 1901, 19 years after she had arrived in Winnipeg, she was offered a job as the Free Press agricultural editor.
She later became president of the Canadian Women's Press Club in 1904. Throughout her life, Hind was active in the causes of women's suffrage and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU).
She died in Winnipeg in 1942.
