This story is about a woman's biography that I think is a
remarkable figure of a woman. She is Dame Whina Cooper. Dame Whina is the
honorable leader of the Maori. He is known as Whaea o te Motu, Mother of the
Nation.
Dame whina was born in Hokianga in the north of new
zealand, she is the son of a maori head. She studied at Whakarapa Native School
and later at St Joseph's Maori Girl's College in Napier. After graduating, She
returned home to his parents for 2 years in 1913. Dame Whina married Richard
Gilbert in 1917 and they have three children. Whina became a leading figure in the
affairs of the church and society. Then her husband died and she remarried with
William Cooper in 1941. In 1949 William died, and Dame whina decided to leave
hokiange then move to Auckland.
After that, Dame Whina became a national leader and she
became president of the founder of the Maori Women's Welfare League. Then when
he was 80 years old, Dame whina led the Maori Land March to protest the loss of
Maori land. And at the age of 98 years Dame Whina died.
For me, Dame Whina is a very inspiring woman.
