Margaret Kelly was an American civil servant, notable for being the first female Assistant Director of the United States Mint, at that time the highest official position held by a woman.

Then she transferred to the Mint, and worked her way up from stenographer over 14 years, to assistant to George E. Roberts. Edward T.

One of the last bushrangers, he is known for wearing a suit of bulletproof armour during his final shootout with the police. Kelly was born in the then- British colony of Victoria as the third of eight children to Irish parents.
