Marcia Russell, OBE, blazed a trail for women working in print and screen journalism. Her TV work ranged from reporting and documentary making, to Beauty and the Beast panelist, and a key role in the creation of TV3. She was behind the award-winning Revolution series (surveying 80s Labour government reforms), and contributed to major series Landmarks and The New Zealand Wars. She died on 1 December 2012.
Feminism made some gains for women. I don’t think we thought everything through, I don’t think we got everything right — but some things had to change, and I think we changed them.
– Marcia Russell
