Winning for Women

Description:


What was it like to be involved in the heady days of 'second
wave' feminism in Australia, when the role of women at home and at work changed
decisively? Iola Mathews was one of the founders of the Women's Electoral

history. Iola brings wisdom and experience to it, reflecting on where we are
today, with suggestions for further reform. It's a vital source for policy
makers and all those interested in women, work and families. 

'Iola Mathews has written a fascinating insider

stories behind these historic victories.' — Anne Summers



'Iola's

equality and fairness. A great stor
