Paperback. Condition: Good. 76 pages. Cover faded.Includes 'the obvious suspects' of poli tics - for example, the first woman MP was Elizabeth McCombs, ele cted for Labour in Lyttelton in 1933 and the first Maori woman MP , Iriaka Ratana, stood for Labour in Western Maori. Both won by-e lections after the deaths of their husbands, who had previously h eld the seat, both with increased majorities. New Zealand's first woman Prime Minister, Jenny Shipley, is seen planting trees with Auckland schoolchildren. Helen Clark, our first elected Prime mi nister, appears in Karangahape Road late on the night she was ele cted in 1999. The first woman Cabinet minister, Labour MP Mabel H oward, is seen dancing with pop star Johnny Devlin. The first Mao ri woman Cabinet minister, Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan, is shown st ill at work when two days past the due date for her first baby; f our years later she became the first Cabinet minister in the worl d to give birth. Dame Cath Tizard was the first woman governor-ge neral, in 1990, having been the first mayor of Auckland. However, the first woman mayor in the British Empire was Elizabeth Yates, elected in Onehunga in the local body elections of November 1893 . Some of the women featured were first in their field in New Zea land. Others are the first New Zealander to have achieved interna tionally in their field, like Keri Hulme, first New Zealander to win the Booker Prize, and Jane Campion the only New Zealander to win the Grand Prix at Cannes. Also included are rugby player Fara h Palmer, referee Nicky Inwood, Bishop Penny Jamieson, cultural s afety activist Irihapeti Ramsden, jockey Linda Jones, firefighter Anne Barry, Olympian Yvette William, television documentary make r Shirley Maddock, painter Frances Hodgkins and writer Katherine Mansfield, among others. The title comes from singer Dinah Lee. W hen she became the first New Zealand woman to have a number one h it overseas in 1964, the men in the band told her 'not to get a b ig head. To them the girl singer was just a fill-in. But I change d all that. All of a sudden I was going out on my own tours'.

Paperback. Condition: Very good. 'Ettie Rout fought a battle for safer sex in the First World War - and won. She gave New Zealand the best sexual health system when its army adopted her prophylactic kit and made every soldier going on leave take one - while she was banned from the pages of the newspapers so New Zealanders wouldn't find out. In Paris, having transformed Madame Yvonne's into a safer sex brothel, she met soldiers at the railway station and convinced them to go there if they chose to have sex.'--Publisher information.

Paperback. Secondhand.*New Zealand Listener's '100 Best Books of 2013' What was it like to be a New Zealand soldier in the First World War? What impact did the war have on those who returned? Let them tell you. An Awfully Big Adventure traces the reminiscences and reflections of 80 veterans interviewed for the World War One Oral History Archive. Respected journalist Jane Tolerton revisits the interviews and sets pieces in a chronology for 21st-century readers to follow the progress and human experience of the war in the words of those who were there. The men relive their time abroad, offering private moments as well as the unvarnished realities of life at the front. A century on, their voices are vivid, strong and direct, and often humorous. Deeply affecting and absorbing, An Awfully Big Adventure is an important historical memoir that reads as if it all happened yesterday. '[F]ew publications will be quite as engrossing as this one . . . I found the stories of these very real people, who went to war almost a century ago, enormously interesting, moving and compelling.' Lt Gen the Rt Hon Sir Jerry Mateparae, Governor-General 'You never took any notice of a dead man. When we were going over in the Battle of Messines, before I got hit, we were passing wounded men, dead men, dead Germans, but we just went straight on. It's a terrible thing to talk about what I'm talking about, you know. But I saw it, I was there.' Stan Herbert 'Never let your mates down - that was a good motto. People used to say to me, 'Were you scared?' I'd say, 'Yes, who wouldn't be? But my biggest worry was not to let me mates think I was scared.' Mustn't let them down.' Thomas Eltringham 'I thought it would be a great adventure, and it'd be real fun. And so it was - up to a point. Past that point it wasn't funny at all.' Sydney Stanfield.
