- Miriam Bridelia Soljak (Thames, 15 de junio de 1879 – Auckland, 28 de marzo de 1971), nacida Miriam Bridelia Cummings, fue una pionera feminista neozelandesa, comunista, activista de los derechos de las personas desempleadas y partidaria de la planificación familiar. Nacida en Thames (Nueva Zelanda), se crio como católica y estudió para ser maestra. De 1898 a 1912, enseñó en escuelas nativas, aprendiendo sobre la cultura maorí y llegando a dominar el idioma. En 1908, se casó con Peter Soljak, un inmigrante de Dalmacia, que en la actualidad forma parte de Croacia pero que en aquella época formaba parte del Imperio Austriaco. En 1919, debido a la legislación de guerra, fue desnaturalizada y obligada a registrarse como extranjera enemiga, a causa de su matrimonio. A pesar de su divorcio en 1939, Soljak no pudo recuperar su nacionalidad británica. Como protesta, Soljak lideró una campaña que duró casi treinta años para que las mujeres tuvieran su propia nacionalidad individual en Nueva Zelanda. Se ocupó de cuestiones sanitarias que incluían el bienestar infantil, la planificación familiar y la anticoncepción, la mortalidad infantil y materna, y la educación sexual. Las preocupaciones económicas, como las dotaciones para las madres, las pensiones para las personas ancianas y las enfermas, las indemnizaciones por desempleo para las mujeres, así como las políticas de ayuda a las mujeres sin hogar, las viudas y las mujeres separadas, también fueron objeto de la labor de Soljak. También se esforzó por apoyar a las comunidades indígenas, implicándose en la protección de las mujeres y niñas maoríes y en el movimiento independentista samoano, aunque era pacifista. En 1946, Nueva Zelanda modificó la , cambiando la política de que una mujer adquiría automáticamente la nacionalidad de su marido al casarse. (es)
- Miriam Bridelia Soljak (née Cummings; 15 June 1879 – 28 March 1971) was a pioneering New Zealand feminist, communist, unemployed rights activist and supporter of family planning efforts. Born in Thames, New Zealand, she was raised as a Catholic and studied to be a teacher. From 1898 to 1912, she taught in native schools, learning about Māori culture and becoming fluent in the language. In 1908, she married Peter Soljak, an immigrant from Dalmatia, now part of Croatia, but at the time part of the Austrian Empire. In 1919, because of war legislation, she was denaturalised and forced to register as an enemy alien, because of her marriage. Despite their divorce in 1939, Soljak was unable to recover her British nationality. In protest, Soljak led a campaign that lasted for nearly thirty years for women to have their own individual nationality in New Zealand. She was involved in health issues which included child welfare, family planning and contraception, infant and maternal mortality, and sex education. Economic concerns such as mother's endowments, pensions for elders and the infirm, unemployment compensation for women, as well as policies that assisted homeless women, widows, and separated women were also a focus of Soljak's work. She also strove to support indigenous communities, becoming involved in the protection of Māori women and girls and Samoan independence movement, though she was a pacifist. In 1946, New Zealand amended the nationality law, changing the policy that a woman automatically acquired her husband's nationality upon marriage. (en)
