We've been beavering away on this for a little while now and I admit to being quite excited about it. While The Hand Mirror's writers are feminist and left-of-centre in make-up, we are firmly dedicated to promoting women's voices regardless of their political ideology. We see this debate as a practical way to give Auckland women a chance to hear different views on which political approaches could serve them best, particularly in light of the upcoming general election.

Please save the date and consider bringing some friends along, and if it goes well we hope this may be the first of many successful Hand Mirror events.

Update: Due to some logistical issues we have changed the format of this event a bit, and I hope to be able to clarify more specifically tomorrow (Monday 1st Sept). It will still be going ahead at the same time and place, with most of the same speakers, but we are making it more of a discussion than a hard-core debate. More news soon I hope!
