October - November 2026
This edition features a wonderful range of stories spanning different eras and experiences, but one theme that stood out while putting it together was the strength, determination, and adventurous spirit of Kiwi women.
Among our features is the story of Jean Batten, whose pioneering flights captured the world’s imagination and established her as one of aviation’s great trailblazers. We also explore the story of Ida Corry, whose skill and resilience helped save her injured guide during a dramatic Aoraki mountain rescue. Alongside them is the story of New Zealand’s Maid, another fascinating example of a woman whose determination and character left a lasting impression on our history. Together, these stories celebrate women who challenged expectations, embraced adventure, and helped shape the nation we know today.
