  • Descrição: This wide-ranging collection of writings by feminist economist [Marilyn Waring], who became well known in Canada through the 1995 National Film Board documentary Who's Counting? Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies, and Gkbal Economics, gathers together some of her work for New Zealand newspapers and magazines with a number of essays from other collections, as well as a selection of new Canadian-focused pieces. For a relatively slim volume, this collection is packed. Subdividing her writing into five series or sections, Waring starts with several pieces that set the grounds for the lens, with snapshots of her roots in a small New Zealand village, her awakening as a feminist and an activist in the 1970s, her experiences as an often lone female Member of the New Zealand Parliamenr, and a glimpse at the turbulent politics of the South Pacific region in which she lives. She moves on from these formative beginnings to present three brief but stirring profiles of feminist politicians who she sees as women of influence, women whose thinking and activism also become part of her own feminist education. In the third section, which gives the book its tide, Waring travels - to conferences, for information-gathering and for advocacy work - observing with a clear eye and sketching with immediacy the often harrowing lives of women in each country she visits. The fourth series deals with two issues: New Zealand's strained relations with the United States after the former adopted its nuclear free policy, and New Zealand's move to a mixed member proportional parliamentary electoral system from a first past the post system.
