The new Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has struck another victory for working mothers everywhere!He's appointed Quentin Bryce, mother of 5 and grandmother of 5 as our next Australian Governor-General. Quentin has been a tireless advocate for working mothers, having been a lawyer, Sex Discrimination Commissioner and more recently, Governor-General of Queensland.
Quentin Bryce has always maintained that women need to have their economic independence to enable them to have choices. And she's proud to call herself a feminist!
This appointment surely can only help to encourage more women into high profile roles.
