Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her amazing authors, Libby Andrew.
Libby is a third-time published author, with all her books published through the Ultimate 48 Hour Author. Her latest work, Wallaroo 19, offers a deeply personal reflection on a pivotal ten-year period of her life when she played elite sports for Australia. Set against the backdrop of the early 1990s, the book delves into the development of women's rugby league and rugby union in Australia, offering a unique perspective on a time when these sports were traditionally male-dominated.
While Wallaroo 19 is not an autobiography or an official history, it is filled with humor, candid stories, and raw emotion—capturing Libby’s experiences both on and off the field. Through her personal accounts, readers get a glimpse of the blood, sweat, and tears she poured into playing a sport that was still finding its place for women. This book celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Wallaroos' first-ever test match in Australia, making it a tribute to the resilience and strength of women athletes who helped pave the way for future generations.
3 Key Takeaways:
1. Women rock and can do anything
2. We need to continue to promote women’s sport to balance the inequalities between men’s and women’s sport
3. Persistence - not only in sports but when writing your book (my book 3 took me 5 years to complete!)
