has glosseng: Washday at the pa is a 1964 book by Ans Westra that alleges to describe a day in the lives of a rural Māori family with nine children, originally published by the then School Publications Branch of the Department of Education, and printed by the Government Printer. The book was withdrawn from publication following concerns voiced by the Māori Womens Welfare League that it [1] would have a detrimental effect' on Māori people, and [2] for any Māori people, the living conditions portrayed within the book were atypical. The subsequent August 1964 order by the Minister of Education caused an uproar - all copies in schools were recalled and shredded, as were all unsold copies in the Government Bookshops chain.
