Description
Inspiring tales of tears, laughter, challenges and triumphs from 12 professional migrant women who arrived in Australia from the 1970s and 2000s, having to come to terms with life in a new language and, for some of them, a completely new profession.
Stories in this book cleverly intermingle and engagingly take the reader through personal and professional challenges these women have overcome. We also witness their achievements and their significant – albeit often undervalued – contributions to the Canberra community and Australian society more broadly.
Highly recommended as a valuable insight into contemporary multicultural developments in Australia.
