Lucy Masey Smith

Lucy Masey Smith (1 June 1861 – 3 March 1936) was a notable New Zealand editor, feminist, temperance and welfare worker. She was born in Christchurch, North Canterbury, New Zealand in 1861.[1]

Smith edited the White Ribbon temperance magazine from 1903 to 1908, though her brief went much wider than prohibition. Under the banner ‘For God, Home, and Humanity,’ she published articles advocating equal pay for equal work, wages for housewives, professional education for girls, vegetarian diets and dress reform.[2][3]
