Summary
In this special episode of We Used To Be Journos , Antoinette unpacks her new book Women Who Win through the lens of media literacy, power and representation. Yes, they get into Antoinette’s own headline-making battle — but this episode goes far beyond one story. Drawing on interviews with 30 women, alongside the stories of trailblazing Australian women no longer with us, the conversation explores how women in public life are framed by the media during their fights, their failures, and even their victories. From media smears to myth-making, this is a conversation about power, narrative control, and the women who kept going anyway. GRAB A COPY Women Who Win.
