Description

Sue Kedgley's autobiography takes readers on a journey through five decades of feminism in New Zealand. From her early days as a debutante to her later years as a Green politician, Kedgley recounts the development of feminism and its intersection with her life. Kedgley's story is one of activism, journalism, and safe-food activism, marked by encounters with notable figures such as Betty Friedan, Yoko Ono, and the Dalai Lama. Despite regrets about the persistence of sexism and violence against women, Kedgley argues that feminism has achieved an extraordinary amount, transforming the lives of countless women. Today, women have entered almost every sphere of national life, although often at a high cost for their hard-won success. In Fifty Years a Feminist, Kedgley reflects on this progress and the future of feminist activism in New Zealand.
