In the last year Professor Waring has completed research on unpaid work, and reflects on her 1975-1984 years as an MP in the New Zealand parliament. In this exclusive lecture, she will examine:
* What were Maybanke's hopes and expectations for changes in women's work, and for how women might transform the processes and decisions made in the political process, once they had the vote and the right to sit in parliament?
*Where is the progress, and what remain the perils for women standing for office?
* What might she and Maybanke have to say to each other across the years?
Author and former Member of Parliament, Marilyn Waring is a Professor of Public Policy at Auckland University of Technology. In the years since she retired from politics she has written Women, Politics and Power, Counting for Nothing, In the Lifetime of a Goat, Who Cares?
