A pioneer for women in international diplomacy, Sue Boyd shares this account of her life in foreign service.
‘An engaging account of life at the coalface by one of Australia’s most active and effective diplomats – and real pathfinder in leading our diplomatic establishment out of its sexist dark age’ – Gareth Evans, Foreign Minister 1988-96
‘A thoroughly engaging read. Sue’s book took me for a walk down memory lane, remembering the tumultuous events of 2000 in Fiji and the fall out thereafter. Sue has a rare understanding of the Pacific Islands and its peoples. An enjoyable read. Part of it made me laugh out loud. From a gender perspective, it offers intuitions into the difficulties faced by women attempting to pierce the glass ceiling. Sue faced those difficulties with good humour and common sense, partly explaining why she has had such a successful career.’ – Imrana Jalal, The World Bank
