Emily Writes, editor of The Spinoff Parents
Holly Walker
I began to pull the
threads of my experience back together. Instead of divergent
stories about public failure, private torment, and
postnatal distress, I started telling myself a
united story: the truth, or as close as I could get to it.
A Rhodes scholar and former Green MP,
Holly Walker tells the story of how she became one
of New Zealand’s youngest parliamentarians, how motherhood
intervened, and how she found solace and solidarity in the
writings of women. This short book makes a passionate case
for the role of literature in political change and
personal resilience, and for the importance of women’s voices
in the public sphere.
