Directed by Kerry Dwyer and produced by the Carlton Women's Liberation group, the play's frank revelations stunned audiences and shocked the Pram Factory world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet against a backdrop of moratorium marches, inner-city cafes and share houses, and the rising tide of sexual liberation and countercultural movements, Kath Kenny uses interviews and archival material to tell the story of \u003cem\u003eBetty Can Jump\u003c\/em\u003e. On the 50th anniversary of this ground-breaking play, she considers its ongoing impact on Australian culture and asks why the great cultural renaissance of women's liberation has been largely forgotten. She sets out her stake in this story, as a theatre reviewer today and as a child born into the revolutionary early 1970s. She also questions why feminism keeps getting stuck in mother-daughter battles, rethinking her own experience as a young feminist who clashed with Garner over the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe First Stone\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46213066686700,"sku":"9780645248050","price":34.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780645248050.jpg?v=1740455762"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kath-kenny.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
