Marguerite Story

Marguerite Nora Eikura Kitimira Story, OBE (née Henry; 11 May 1922 – 25 September 2009), was the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Cook Islands from 1965 to 1979.

After the election, the government—which as expected was controlled by Henry's CIP—reduced the residency requirements for a member of the Legislative Assembly from three years to three months.

[3] Henry won the by-election for the Te-au-o-Tonga seat and in return the government elected Story as the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, a position she held until 1979.

She was involved in Girl Guides and was the founder of the Nikao Youth Club and the Cook Islands Women's Federation.

[5] She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for public and community service in the Cook Islands, in the 1984 New Year Honours.
