Description:
|
Kristine Philipp entered the workforce aged 15 as a Girl Friday, the first of many admin jobs she would have over the next forty years. Asserting the mantra ‘I am not a human resource, I am a human being’, this is the poignant, honest and darkly humorous memoir of an Aussie battler. From its nostalgic view of growing up in the 1960s and 70s, to its insightful observations of pay inequality and housing insecurity, this enlightening social commentary highlights the gains women have made in the workforce, and the challenges that remain.
