Roll on the Revolution

Description

Margot Roth has been writing wickedly funny newspaper and journal columns for seventy-odd years. The Margot Collective has now gathered the best of her columns and other writing to become her first book. Margot was a feminist before that became a label in the 1970s, and in her 95 th year, remains a feminist, writing about the world around her with wit and wisdom. Roll on the revolution...includes some of her early writing for parenting, peace and political magazines, and later columns for New Zealand feminist magazines such as Broadsheet, ranging right up to 2015. In one piece, Margot Roth pays tribute to 'rowdy women' of the past who fought for women's rights: Roll on the revolution...but not till after Xmas! reveals this feisty author as one of those rowdy women.

Margot Roth is a writer, columnist and feminist activist, whose newspaper columns began in the 1940s. Helen Courtney is a well-known New Zealand feminist cartoonist.
