Paperback. Condición: Good. 205 pages. Text lightly tanned Since 1933 thirty-six women have been elected to the New Zealand House of Rep resentatives. They have entered politics for diverse reasons and have adopted a variety of positions across the breadth of the political spectrum. Each has had her own experience and formed her own impressions of life in what remains an ess entially male-dominated institution.

In compiling this book, the editors have given the women MPs of the eighties and nineties a rare chance to speak fo r themselves, to go beyond the constraints of the sound-bite and reflect upon th e interplay between their public and private lives. They talk freely about the w ay Parliament is run, about their individual philosophies, and about the difficu lties facing anyone thinking of following in their footsteps.

An d, above all, they present a series of shrewd, contrasted, and opinionated insig hts into life in and around the House as experienced by parliamentary women and their male colleagues. All of this ensures that Making Policy Not Tea is both co mpelling reading and a unique and timely contribution to New Zealand's political culture.…
