About the event
Join us to celebrate Michelle Duff and the launch of Surplus Women, published by Te Herenga Waka University Press.
This is a collection of stories about women in past, present and future Aotearoa. Michelle Duff’s cast of hungry teenage girls, top detectives who forget to buy milk, frustrated archivists, duplicitous real estate agents, and ‘surplus women’ are all as vivid as wafts of Impulse from a backpack in the 90s.
Tina Makereti and Emily Writes will also be speaking at the event.
All welcome!
