We join many in honouring Alison Gray – whose research, oral history and writing illuminated the lives of many over the years. Alison’s books were published by Allen & Unwin NZ through the 1980s, continuing with BWB from 1990 with Springs in My Heels (1991) and Mothers and Daughters (1993), both now in the digital BWB Women’s Studies Collection. Alison is remembered warmly by the editors who worked with her and Bridget Williams through the years; she is part of our publishing story, a writer of our history here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
