About this ebook
Merimeri Penfold, Margaret Mahy, Anne Salmond, Gaylene Preston and Jacqueline Fahey have carved out impressive careers - as artists, writers, teachers, filmmakers and thinkers. And all have balanced their successful careers with meaningful personal lives. In Her Life's Work, Deborah Shepard traces five extraordinary life stories through in-depth interviews. Born between 1920 and 1947, these women saw immense changes in New Zealand society through the second half of the twentieth century that directly affected their working and personal lives. The interviews encompass their families, their education and training opportunities, their friends and mentors, their aspirations, their experiences of motherhood and domesticity and the influence of intimate relationships on their creativity. Including photographs by Marti Friedlander and an insightful introduction, Her Life's Work is a candid exploration of the lives and times of these remarkable women.
