ZELDA: The Spinifex Feminist Classic is back in print!
Zelda D'Aprano, a working-class woman at the forefront of the Women's Liberation Movement in Australia, shows in her autobiography the same raw spirit she evidenced when chaining herself to the Commonwealth Building in Melbourne to protest unequal pay on 21 October 1969. The life of a remarkable woman who often battled alone for what women today take for granted.
Zelda is a moving, down-to-earth recounting of the past, an insightful criticism of how society is structured and reminds us of the exuberance of the Women's Liberation Movement.
"Zelda was at the forefront of a new era of women’s social and political activism. Here, in her own proud, defiant and charismatic voice, Zelda shows why she was a hero — and why she remains an icon —of the struggle of the our collective rights and freedoms."
—Professor Clare Wright OAM
