Title: Shoestring
Description: A memoir and Australian social history. From an idyllic Australian childhood in Bondi, through a candid portrait of marriage, Shoestring traces the trials and tribulations of a working mother 'tycooning' in a male-dominated industry in the 1950s, as a Wool Board marketing and advertising executive. It also navigates the occupational hazards of alcohol consumption in the advertising world - and in Eltham, Victoria, where she lived.
