Biography

She was born in San Francisco, California, United States in July 1871.[1] Baume was a university graduate and had been one of the first female high school teachers in the United States. On 21 June 1899 she married Frederick Baume in San Francisco, who was later a Member of Parliament in New Zealand.[2]

Baume became the first woman candidate for Parliament in New Zealand, standing for the Liberal Party for the seat of Parnell in 1919.[3] In 1921 she remarried to E. W. Kane, clerk of the House of Representatives and died in Wellington on 22 February 1934.[1] Frederick Baume and Rosetta had four sons: Frederick (Eric), Neville, Alan and Sidney. Eric Baume later became well known in Australia as a journalist, broadcaster and novelist.[1]

gollark: It now says "Comrades" and links to "/Comrades".
gollark: Okay, this is unfortunate, it breaks the /dragons link...
gollark: I made it replace lowercase only.
gollark: ```Brute Dragons are among the larger Comrade breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of Comrade exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in Comrades is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of Comrades grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, Comrades and humans coexist peacefully.```
gollark: v0, which just replaces dragon with Comrade, is a great success.
