What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘An impressive collection.’

‘An impressive collection.’ * Sunday Age *
‘Doogue has elegantly managed to persuade her interviewees to declare themselves on some of the hard perennials in this debate: that dirty word ambition, the function of male mentors, guilt about the domestic sphere and the exhortation to leave the personal in the car park.’ * Australian Financial Review *
‘Doogue gets to the heart of what it means to be a woman in power in Australia. Inspiring and insightful, this book reveals a varied picture of issues for contemporary Australian women.’ * The City, Adelaide *
The Climb rightly celebrates the achievements of the women profiled, and there is some terrific advice and wisdom contained within.’ * Age/Sydney Morning Herald *
