Iola Mathews was one of the founders of the Women's Electoral Lobby, a journalist at \u003ci\u003eThe Age, \u003c\/i\u003e and later a leading ACTU advocate for women workers during the 'Accord' with the Hawke-Keating Government. She was one of the first generation of women trying to 'have it all' with a career and children. In this honest and revealing memoir, she takes us inside the day-to-day groundwork required to bring about reforms in areas like affirmative action, equal pay, superannuation, child care, parental leave and work-family issues. This is an important record of a pivotal time for women in Australia's history. Iola brings wisdom and experience to it, reflecting on where we are today, with suggestions for further reform. \u003ci\u003eWinning for Women\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital source for policy makers and all those interested in women, work and families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition includes a foreword by historian Michelle Arrow, who discusses the reforms made by the Albanese government around women such as paid parental leave, superannuation and domestic violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iola Mathews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 192297952X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922979520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monash University Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Iola Mathews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440533582079,"sku":"9781922979520","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8951c7c5-90e9-41c7-be21-d58ffccdff8b.jpg?v=1777183069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winning-for-women-iola-mathews-9781922979520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
