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

ataahua mana wahine

this powerful and inspiring writing has invoked a special place in my heart, to hear the life of such a kaha mana wahine of academia, activism, whanau, adventure and aroha, loss, grief, I am grateful to have had the privilege to listen and have so much gratitude for the mahi that has been put in through the years for the changes and ruffling the feathers of those who sit complacent. nga mihi ngahuia
