Rebecca Greenwood (January 3, 1920 - March 16, 1990) was the first Greenwood family member of the Council of Kerlile, whose mother Wilma Greenwood was the first President of Kerlile. Rebecca became Councillor at the age of fourteen and served for fifty-six years before she passed away at 70 due to alcohol poisoning.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Rebecca Greenwood was born in Libertas Omnium Maximus and moved to Kerlile, then North Fleura at the age of three with her mother Wilma Greenwood as part of the project to build a women's utopia.
On the Council[edit | edit source]
Following the foundation of the Council of Kerlile, the ten founders agreed that one of their members, Wilma Greenwood, should be appointed President of Kerlile. She was to be the official head of state of Kerlile. In order to ensure, however, that the region Greenwood had managed was represented on the Council, she was immediately succeeded as Councillor by her daughter Rebecca, who was only 14 at the time. Some historians have claimed the young Rebecca’s ascension to the Council was an early sign that the “utopia was turning into a quasi-feudal state”.
Many expected Rebecca to become President of Kerlile after Susanna Pierre, however she died in the same year.
