Responses to Michael O'Leary's Wednesday's Women
Michael O'Leary's book makes a unique contribution to knowledge about women writers in New Zealand during the 1940-1970 period, providing insights into the constraints which inhibited their equal representation in the publishing industry of the time.
Dr Alison Laurie
Dr O'Leary's extensive background as a reader, author, publisher, bookseller, and social justice advocate with unique access to unpublished material and literary figures of the time equipped him wonderfully to write this thesis and book.
