Public Access Text
Explains the ambiguities of wartime changes in the private and public lives of New Zealand women. Considers women as mothers, wives and lovers, as well as workers, using many examples from real lives. The author's main argument is that understanding the continuities in gender relations is as important as cataloguing female 'firsts'. Includes bibliographical references (p.188-197)
