Mrs Catherine Campbell Stewart (née Sword) (15 August 1881 – 2 April 1957) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party.
Born in Glasgow, she migrated with her family to New Zealand in 1921. She was an ardent suffragette, and a member of the Theosophical Society.[1]
She won the Wellington West electorate in the 1938 election, when she defeated long-standing MP Robert Alexander Wright.[2] She was the second woman to be elected to Parliament after Elizabeth McCombs. She was defeated in the next election in 1943.[1]
After the death of her husband, she returned to live in Glasgow, where she died on 2 April 1957.[1]
