Women ‘leaders’ of N-protest
Parliamentary reporter A prediction that women will be in the forefront of the anti-nuclear movement in New Zealand has been made by Mrs Ann Hercus (Lab., Lyttelton), who has just returned from an International Visitors Award Grant to the United States. women in the United States had found issues on which they could and were having considerable influence—the most important being the nuclear issue, said Mrs Hercus.
She sensed important parallels in New Zealand with what was happening in the United States. While Traditional women’s issues such as equal rights and pay produced no great disparities of support by men and women, the nuclear issue was producing very different malefemale responses. The place and power of women in the peace movement in the United States was becoming a critical political issue, she said.
