In 1975, Dr. Waring became the youngest member in the New Zealand Parliament. At the age of 24, she became the Chairperson of the Public Expenditures Committee. During the course of her work she discovered that, world wide, no country's accounting system took into account the work of women and the cost of environmental damage. Dr. Waring is a feminist economist with a Ph.D. in Political Economy, a development consultant, a farmer, an activist for "femal human rights" and is currently a senior lecturer at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand. Her first book, If Women Counted: The New Feminist Economics, was released in 1989 and was the basis of the Canadian National Film Board production Who's Counting? Her latest book is The Three Masquerades: Equality, Work and Human Rights.
