AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The last few years have seen a spate of new memoirs and biographies charting the lives of Australian women who were connected in various ways with the second-wave feminist movement. Iola Mathews’ Winning for Women: A Personal Story is a valuable addition. As a journalist, trade unionist and politician's wife, Mathews was uniquely placed to observe not only the internal workings of the women's movement but its impact on some of the country's most influential political institutions, including the Labor Party and Australian Council of Trade Unions. Her book is directed primarily at a feminist readership interested in questions of women, work and family. However, Mathews’ insider account should also prove useful to historians of Australian politics, industrial relations and the media more generally.' (Introduction)
