What is recorded here
Half a century before the world listened, Kathleen Mannington Hunt was born into the quiet grandeur of Waterloo House in Thurles, County Tipperary. That house gave her no classroom, only governesses and the particular confidence of land-owning Irish Protestants. It also gave her a mind sharp enough to leave Ireland, become a nurse, marry a surgeon, cross to Australia, and write herself into history as Iota.
Why this person is known: Australian writer; author of "A Yellow Aster" (1855–1926)
