At The Women's Bookshop, Ponsonby Road, Auckland; Stephanie speaking at 6.30pm
I've not put "feminist event" for this as having read quite a few of Johnson's books I'm quite confused about her politics. She certainly writes some good female characters (I particularly liked her female PM in John Tomb's Head which I just finished reading recently), and she's also written a novel which features an event bearing striking similarity to the attack on Mervyn Thompson in the 1980s, which was blamed on feminists at UOA at the time. Feminist or not, I suspect she'd be interesting to hear nonetheless.
