The women's power handbook

Joan Kirner and Moira Rayner passionately believe that women must know their goals and learn how to achieve them. Two of Australia's most prominent public figures and community activists, they've lived this book. They've had power, lost power, reclaimed power. Now they've turned their experiences - and the stories of many other women into a punchy, down-to-earth tactical guide to life and work, including developing self-esteem, managing meetings and committees and becoming politically effective.
