The Bottom Line

Many children of varying ethnicity found it very difficult, even distressing, especially at school as children are very vindictive regarding anything different in a personal world. Australian children in the early 1950's had to face exceptionally harsh disciplines, i.e. The Cane. Also we had class distinction which imposed extra pressures.

I left my last job in the health care sector because my employer was not open to creative and different ways of working. I sent the CEO some links to creative ways of working and thinking.

I retiired at 53 years of age because the workplace would not offer me flexible work days, hours and a working from home arrangement. My workplace was local to where I lived. I was prepared to be flexible to suit the employer as negotiated. Organisations in the future must work with women to provide flexibility for them to remain gainfully employed. Or talent and experience will be lost.Freckleson Ann Sherry: Feature Interview
