... that Mihi Edwards didn't use her own name as a young woman because of discrimination against Māori people in New Zealand? Source: [1] "Talks about pretending to be Pakeha to get work, and discrimination when seeking accommodation leading to inventing the name 'Anne Davis'."
- ALT1: ... that Mihi Edwards became a writer in her seventies in order to promote the use of te reo Māori (the Maōri language)? Source: [2]: "I wanted to write about how the Maori people lost the language, to let it be known how it really did happen. I made a vow in my heart that one day I would tell it from every point, every pinnacle, every roof top, so that there would be no more misunderstanding. I would let people know how important it is to hold fast to your identity, because without your reo you are nothing."

- Comment: ~~Review TBC~~, and thanks in advance. September is Mahuru Māori (Māori Language Month) in New Zealand so it would be good to get this up in September if possible. :)
