A female economist who analysed women's working rights 23 years ago feels depressed by the "lack of progress since [Kate] Sheppard's day".
In her new book Hopes Dashed? The Economics of Gender Inequality, Prue Hyman expresses her upset in the Government for continuing to undervalue motherhood in economic calculations and policy making.
​In comparing her 1994 book Women and Economics: A New Zealand Feminist Perspective with her 2017 release, Hyman said that the current Government, including the Ministry for Women, "demonstrates too rosy a view of past gains and future challenges [for womens rights]".
