Ngāhuia te Awekōtuku
About this listen
An incredible memoir by a trailblazing voice in women's, queer and Māori liberation movements
'Remarkable. At once heartbreaking and triumphant' Patricia Grace
In the 1950s, a young Ngāhuia is fostered by a family who believe in hard work and community. Although close to her kuia, she craves more: she wants higher education and refined living. But whānau dismiss her dreams. To them, she is just a show-off, always getting into trouble, talking back and running away.
In this fiery memoir about identity and belonging, Ngāhuia te Awekōtuku describes what was possible for a restless working-class girl from the pā. After moving to Auckland for university, Ngāhuia advocates resistance as a founding member of Ngā Tamatoa and the Women's and Gay Liberation movements, becoming a critical voice in protests from Waitangi to the streets of Wellington.
'Extraordinary, vivid, riveting. I learned, I laughed and I wept over this book.' Fiona Kidman
'Beautifully written and fiercely honest.' Deborah Challinor
'Brilliant. This timely coming-of-age memoir by an iconic activist will rouse the rebel in us all. I loved it.' Tina Makereti
