Activism Feminism Politics and Parliament

Activism, Feminism, Politics and Parliament is a powerful analysis of political life in New Zealand over four decades.

Margaret Wilson always lived a political life. From her days as a child growing up in the Waikato in a Catholic family attuned to fairness, an unlikely law student in the 1960s in a class with a few other women, and an emerging socialist feminist who read radical texts and attended women's conventions, her key concerns became cemented early: the rights of women and equality for all under the law. This book tells her story.
