Jacqueline Sturm

Jacqueline Sturm

Jacqueline Cecilia Sturm (born 1927) is a poet and writer of short stories. She was born in Opunake, Taranaki, New Zealand, and was the first Māori woman to complete an undergraduate university degree, at Victoria University College, followed by an MA in Philosophy.

She married James Keir Baxter in 1948. It could be argued that the fame and notoriety of Baxter's public image, as well as marital dysfunctions and consequential pressures of solo parenting, caused a respite in Sturm's own work. Her stories were published in several New Zealand literature collections and student magazines in the 1950's and early 1960's, but not again until 1983 when a woman's publishing collective printed her stories as 'The House of the Talking Cat'.
