In a strange land

In a strange land:

“My name is Deborah.

The header on this blog is an extract from the petition presented to the New Zealand Parliament, in 1893, asking for suffrage for women. The petition was granted; on September 19, 1893, all New Zealand women were enfranchised.

In early 2007, I spent a lot of time hanging about Public Address, and in the midst of a vexed discussion there, wrote this comment, on feminisms. Writing it made me want to have a blog of my own, ‘though for various reasons, it took me some time to get it going.”
