Summary
"The passing of the Government Service Equal Pay Act in October 1960 was a moment of triumph for the thousands of New Zealanders who had sought equal pay for women public servants since 1890. Today, when the battle for economic equality is still being fought, Margaret Corner's account of the struggle towards that 1960 milestone is especially important and timely. Relying both on thorough research and on the words and memories of the women involved, she chronicles the PSA's long, frustrating but often exciting campaign for equal pay ... Well illustrated with contemporary newspaper extracts, photographs and cartoons, Margaret Corner's book is a readable and lively account of a vitally important piece of New Zealand history ..." -- (page [i]).
