Description: Shows Ann Hercus in a dressing gown and shower cap, holding a body brush in her left hand as she peers around a door. The cartoon and caption refer jokingly to the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film 'Psycho', but it more specifically refers to the series of 21 women's forums, organised by Ann Hercus as the newly-appointed Minister of Women's Affairs, that were staged in 1984, and which addressed a number of items from the feminist agenda. The expectations that these issues would generally be upheld by the women of New Zealand proved more difficult than Labour had anticipated, as thousands of conservative and Christian women downgraded or rejected items on the feminist agenda, which they considered would undermine family life Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - Hodgson [in ink] Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
