Zelda D'Aprano, a working-class woman at the forefront of the Women's Liberation Movement in Australia, shows, in her autobiography, the same raw spirit she evidenced when chaining herself to the Commonwealth Building in Melbourne to protest unequal pay on 21 October 1969. Worker, mother, trade unionist and activist, her painful memories always remind us that the personal is political. Zelda is a moving, down-to-earth recounting of the past, an insightful criticism of the way our society is structured and a reclamation of the exuberance of the Women's Liberation Movement. This is a book with no airs. Instead, it gives sharp opinions without expounding grand theories. The life of a remarkable woman who often battled alone for what women today take for granted.

Industry Reviews

"Zelda is a classic in Australian political history and women's history, whose re-publication by Spinifex is warmly welcomed. In this eloquent autobiography, written in the 1970s, leading women's liberationist Zelda D'Aprano tells her personal story of how trade union activism led her to a deep understanding of women's oppression and how to mobilise against it." --Professor Marilyn Lake AO
"Zelda was at the forefront of a new era of women's social and political activism. Here, in her own proud, defiant and charismatic voice, Zelda shows why she was a hero ... of the struggle of the our collective rights and freedoms." --Professor Clare Wright
