The 2015 lecture was significant for three reasons: firstly, it was a key part of the wonderful Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival – one of Australasia’s stellar festival events. Secondly, the lecture took place at Dunedin’s first literary festival as a UNESCO City of Literature, which is well-deserved recognition of the city’s past and present as an extraordinary place of words and writers. Last – but certainly not least – we were privileged to have Witi Ihimaera deliver the lecture, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most acclaimed writers.

'I'M NOT A WOMAN WRITER, BUT ...' : GENDER MATTERS IN NEW ZEALAND WOMEN'S SHORT FICTION 1975-1995 A THESIS PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY PALMERSTON NORTH NEW ZEALAND lANE NICOLE LE MARQUAND 2006 Preliminaries 11 Abstract From the late 1970s, New Zealand women short story writers increasingly worked their way into the literary mainstream. In the wake of the early, feminist­ motivated years of the decade their gender, which had previously been the root of their marginalizedposition, began to workfo r them. However, rather than embracing womanhood, this growth in gender recognition led to many writers rejecting overt identification of their sex. To be a labeled a woman writer was considered patronising, a mark of inferiority. These women wanted to be known as writers only, some even expressing a hope for literature to reach a point of androgyny. Their work, however, did not convey an androgynous perspective. Just as the fact of their gender could not be avoided, so the influence their sex had on their creativity cannot be denied. Gender does matter and New Zealand women's short fiction published in the 1975-1995 period illustrates its significance. From the early trend for adopting fiction as a site for social commentary and political treatise against patriarchy's one-dimensional image of woman, these stories show a gradually increasing awareness of fictional possibilities, allowing for celebration of the multiplicity of female experience and capturing a process of redefinition rather than rejection of 'women's work'.
