Wendy Squires 'The Boys' Club'

I seem to have co-incidentally picked a number of Australian books recently. Most of them have been new ones I have recently bought too. No idea why they are all on sale at the moment!

'The Boys Club' is one of these books. Set in the Australian television industry it tells the story of one woman's struggle with work-life balance. Rosie took a change of career path from journalism to publicity for a television company. Here she hit the glass ceiling while watching the boys' club laughing on the other side. The story deals with issues such as sexism in the workplace, blatent nepotism, the struggles of single parenthood, emotions of divorce, parental pressure (even once you have your own kids) as well of the pressures of being a parent.

Be Warned! This book has a lot of swearing.
