Wednesday's Women

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the societal and literary challenges faced by women writers in New Zealand from 1945 to 1970, highlighting the pervasive sexism within the literary establishment, including both publishers and authors. It draws on Dr. O'Leary's PhD thesis to critically examine the constraints imposed on women during this period, setting the stage for the feminist movements that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s.
