No other writer has documented and narrated the real truths of women's lives like Susan Mitchell. Since her groundbreaking bestseller Tall Poppies, she has gone on to examine the worlds of women in politics, in powerful partnerships, in literature, in sport-splitting them wide open in her quest for truth. Now, seventeen years after Tall Poppies was first published, Susan Mitchell has returned to some of her original subjects to update their stories. In narrating their lives she looks back on two decades of successful women, asking questions about what they have achieved individually and collectively, publicly and privately. The results are intimate, candid and revealing. And, for the first time, Susan Mitchell not only describes the lives of other women, but splits open her own world and tells her own stories. With the same gutsy humour and the same addiction to truth, she links her journey to those of her subjects. The result is a wonderful exploration of love, lust, marriage, mothers and daughters, ambition and power. Compulsive, empowering and challenging, this book delves into what it means to be a successful woman in the twenty-first century. Pat O'Shane, Maggie Tabberer, Eve Mahlab, Robyn Archer, Fabian Dattner, Anne Summers, Sallyanne Atkinson, Susan Mitchell
