Helen Kelly was an electrifying figure in the fight for worker’s rights in Aotearoa. As the first female head of the trade union movement, she was at once a hero and a thorn in the side of those who sought to champion the values of neoliberalism. Acclaimed journalist Rebecca Macfie (author of Tragedy at Pike River Mine) has written an exceptional account of Kelly’s remarkable life and was joined by Jo Moir to discuss it.
