The best-known and most often remembered Māori women who lived and worked in the 20th century were Te Puea Hērangi and Kiri Te Kanawa. I took a gamble that people would already know about Te Puea and Kiri, and didn’t profile them in my video. You won’t find them in this gallery either. I hope they would approve of my decision to shine a light on Māori women who aren’t as well known outside of their own communities.
