I'm writing an essay in regards to any changes in women's rights. Anybody have any ideas on sources on the internet or how to search it on the internet (I'm having issues with Google)? I'm not looking for answers to what was happening in the world, but where I can find sources. I've got a couple of general NZ histories already- Philippa Mein Smith and James Belich. Please help if you have any ideas

New Zealand responses to world changes in the 1960s and 1970s?
One thing you should possibly look into is the advent of the Contraception Pill. Initially it was only available to married women, and then in some cases, married women who had had families but the general social structure was certainly changing.
Another thing you could look into is the rise in women entering tertiary education - considering our chief justice, speaker of the house, prime minister and a number of current/recent CEO's of major companies have been women it indicates a change of where their life was expected to lead.

New Zealand responses to world changes in the 1960s and 1970s?
Your problem is that, until Rogernomics, New Zealand did not respond to anything much unless it was problems exporting lamb and butter to Britain.
