Power in Numbers

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Power in Numbers celebrates their achievements, profiling Jenny Wilkinson, Michele Bullock and Danielle Wood alongside thirteen trailblazing women who have shaped Australian economics over the past two centuries.

Drawing on interviews and historical research, economists Catie Bradbear and Melissa Bray explore the pivotal moments, the strengths and challenges that have defined these women's careers, including their sliding door moments, their superpowers and their struggles. Shared themes emerge, including the influence of great teachers, the importance of mentors and networks, and the persistence required to succeed in a profession where women have long been underrepresented.

Against the odds these women have emerged as leaders, using economics as a tool to improve lives and build a better society.
