Discover the inspiring story of Mary Ann Colclough in 'Polly Plum', a compelling biography that delves into the life of one of New Zealand's pioneering feminists. Written by Jenny Coleman, this paperback edition offers 296 pages filled with intriguing insights into the struggles and contributions of early feminist figures. From her arrival in New Zealand in 1857 to her influential role as a journalist for the Daily Southern Cross and the Weekly News under the pen name 'Polly Plum,' Colclough's tenacity and outspokenness challenged societal norms of her time. Often labeled as 'our own little stray strap of a modern female fanatic,' she was not afraid to voice her opinions on women's rights, making her an essential figure in the 19th-century women’s movement. This biography argues that Colclough's impact is comparable to that of Kate Sheppard and highlights her efforts to politicize women’s issues and advocate for change. With dimensions of 165 x 230 mm, this brand new paperback biography is perfect for those interested in women's history, feminism, and New Zealand’s societal evolution. Whether you are a historian, feminist, or simply curious about the legacy of early activists, 'Polly Plum' is a must-read.

Polly Plum is a biography of one of New Zealand’s earliest feminists, Mary Ann Colclough, whose publicly voiced opinions saw her described in the nineteenth century as â€our own little stray strap of a modern female fanatic’. English-born Mary Ann Barnes came to New Zealand in 1857, and soon gained notoriety for her outspokenness on issues relating to women’s position in society. A teacher and also a journalist for the Daily Southern Cross and the Weekly News under the nom de plume â€Polly Plum’, she also engaged in public debates through the letters to the editor columns, undeterred by becoming â€the best abused woman in New Zealand in the present day’. In this fine biography, Jenny Coleman argues that Mary Ann Colclough’s contribution to the women’s movement in nineteenth-century New Zealand is at least equal to that of Kate Sheppard. A good two decades ahead of the organised women’s movement, â€Polly Plum’ began politicising women by writing about the realities of their daily lives, what needed to change and how. Coleman here reclaims Mary Ann Colclough’s place in New Zealand’s feminist history by bringing her life and contributions to a wider audience.

Squeaky balls for big dogs
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
I wanted a cheaper alternative to the Kong squeaky balls but unless you have big dogs that have powerful jaws, it is challenging for small and some medium dogs to squeak these. My dogs lost interest when they realized they couldn't squeak them. I will have to pass them off to a friend who has large dogs.

Moms dog here…reviewing cos it’s mine!
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
Moms corgo here. Reviewing the squeaky balls mom bought.
First off..they’re green. I don’t know what green exactly is cos I’m colorblind, so whatever that is it is and because it’s mine, I like it.
Secondly, they’re fluffy. It’s an annoying texture that I like to peel off, but these are tough and peeling them is a struggle.
Thirdly, the bounce. I don’t know where these balls think they’re going to think my mom is so repulsive, but they bounce just high enough to catch them and bring the escapee back to mom when I feel like they need to go back to her, otherwise, I take them to a safe spot to release into the wild…but mom always captures them and they always escape. I tell you, it’s a vicious cycle.
Fifthly…the squeak!! That rotten vulgar noise!! I want to unalive those things so bad!! Balls in the past were no match for my jaws of death, but these?? These are resilient and have quite the will to live! I have yet to destroy one!!
To wrap this up…Corgo approves and declares them mine. I like them. I think your doggo will like them too. But you can’t have mine..cos they’re mine.
*drops the corgo mic*

Not for aggressive chewers
Color: Non Squeaky-12 Pack, Size: Medium
You get a good amount of balls for the price. My dogs loved them but unfortunately they did not last long. That is not the company’s fault, my dogs are very toy aggressive and destroy almost every toy.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.
