Kate Mundy

Kate at 40 is the oldest of the five sisters and perceives herself to be the most responsible. She earns the only reliable wage in the Mundy household as a schoolteacher. She adopts the role of head of the household and feels she can direct the chastise her family for their behaviour but she is essentially kindhearted. She is the most fearful and resistant to the changes taking place around her, and is especially critical of the “pagan” singing and dancing that the radio has brought into her household.
