| What was it like to be involved in the heady days of â second waveâ feminism in Australia, when the role of women at home and at work changed decisively? Iola Mathews was one of the founders of the Womenâ s Electoral Lobby, a journalist at The Age, and later a leading ACTU advocate for women workers during the â Accordâ with the Hawke-Keating Government. She was one of the first generation of women trying to â have it allâ 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 workâ family issues. This is an important record of a pivotal time for women in Australiaâ s history. Iola brings wisdom and experience to it, reflecting on where we are today, with suggestions for further reform. Winning for Women is a vital source for policy makers and all those interested in women, work and families. This 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. |
