Paperback, 2003, 199pages, very good condition, name in end page

"This significant political and social history of documents how a group of women across the political spectrum profoundly influenced decision-making in New Zealand. Inside a generation, women have made spectacular advances in the range and number of positions they hold in public life. In 2001 it was of international media interest that New Zealand had women as head of state, prime minister, leader of the opposition, attorney general, chief justice and CEO of the countrys largest public company. This is a lively, well illustrated story of a social revolution featuring pen portraits of some of the most influential women in WEL itself. It also provides a detailed survey of changes to legislation and attitudes that have greatly influenced the lives of women today. Hopefully it will also be a reminder to future generations of how things once were and what the women of WEL did to change them."
