Publisher's Synopsis
The Time of Our Lives is an historical collection of stories about 10 women who were educated in New Zealand in the 1950's or earlier. The stories were created from interviews and the collection is presented with several high quality photographs, past and present. They show how different it was for girls at that time, and unless parents were very forward thinking, education for girls was not a high priority. I posed the question to myself - to what extent had my educational experiences influenced the decisions regarding my own three daughters' education? Did girls in those days have dreams and aspirations beyond marriage and children? Writing the collection became a journey of discovery and catharsis for me.
