Subject Notes
Christina Kirk Henderson was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1861, and settled with her family in Christchurch around 1882. She worked as a schoolteacher in Ashburton, and at Springston School in Christchurch while studying towards her Bachelors part time. In 1901, Henderson became the first president of the Association of Women Teachers, and was Secretary of National Council of Women from 1902-1905. She fought passionately for the right of women to serve as police, members of Parliament, jurors and justices of the peace; she herself was appointed a justice of the peace on 23 February 1928.
