Hine Toa

Discover how a restless working-class girl from the pā became a founding member of Ngā Tamatoa and the Women's and Gay Liberation movements and an essential voice in protests across Aotearoa. Winner of the 2025 Ockham New Zealand Book Award for General Non-fiction, Ngāhuia te Awekōtuku’s memoir Hine Toa: A Story of Bravery, is a remarkable ‘coming of age’ memoir by a trailblazing voice in women’s, queer and Māori liberation movements. Chaired by Donna McLeod.
