Coleman, Kit, 1864-1915 : Kathleen Blake "Kit" Coleman's birthdate is usually listed as 1864, and her maiden name as Blake. It is, however, probable that she was born Catherine Ferguson in 1856 at the village of Castleblakeney, Ireland, to Patrick Ferguson and Mary Burke. In 1884 she emigrated to Canada, probably after the death of her first husband, Thomas Willis. Kathleen Willis lived in Toronto and Winnipeg, where she bore two children (Thady and Patricia) by her second husband, Edward Watkins.

At the end of her second marriage (probably by divorce), Kathleen Blake Watkins moved to Toronto and soon began her career in journalism. In 1889 her first articles were published in SATURDAY NIGHT, and she was soon hired by the TORONTO MAIL (later the MAIL AND EMPIRE) to write a weekly full-page column for women under the title "Woman's Kingdom". In addition to such topics as household tips, women's fashions, and relations between the sexes, Watkins dealt increasingly with areas in the mainstream of journalism in her column and soon became one of the MAIL's star reporters. In 1891 she interviewed the celebrated French actress Sarah Bernhardt, on tour in Canada. Watkins' assignments included the Chicago World's Fair (1893), the 1897 Jubilee, and Cuba during the Spanish-American War (1898), in which she became the first woman accredited as a war correspondent.

Upon her return from Cuba, Watkins married Theobald Coleman and moved to Copper Cliff, Ontario, where her husband was company doctor for the Canadian Copper Company. In 1901 the Colemans moved to Hamilton, Ontario. Kathleen Blake Coleman's status as a woman in journalism was recognized when, in 1904, she was made the first president of the Canadian Women's Press Club.

Notwithstanding her own career in an overwhelmingly male profession, Coleman publicly opposed feminism and woman suffrage. Coleman left the MAIL AND EMPIRE in 1911 because of a salary dispute, and produced a weekly syndicated article "Kit's Column". She died in 1915 in Hamilton.
