Ashton-Warner was born on 17 December 1908,
in Stratford, New Zealand]]. She spent many years teaching Māori
people children, using stimulating and often pioneering techniques
which she wrote about in her 1963 treatise Teacher and in the various
volumes of her autobiography. Her success derived from a commitment to
"releasing the native imagery and using it for working material" and
her belief that communication must produce a mutual response in order
to affect a lasting change. As a novelist, she produced several works
mostly centred around strong female characters.
