Dame Rose Kekedo has set many records in the recent history of Papua New Guinea.  She was the first PNG woman to earn an overseas university degree; the first Papua New Guinean to be principal of a teachers college; the first female head of a public service department; and the first female chancellor of the University of Papua New Guinea.  Her story is an inspiration to the inhabitants of Papua New Guinea today.
