Jean Kekedo discusses the fight for equal pay for equal work, the role of her sister Rose Kekedo in the teacher's union and the discrimination in housing and pensions.
Jean Kekedo traces her early schooling beginning in a humble primary school in Kokoda, and her 75 mile travel to school in Grade 4 in Popondetta where she established gardens for her food. She describes winning an Australian government scholarship to St Mary's in Charters Towers, Queensland, attended by her two elder sisters, which she declined in favour of Rabaul High School.
