In this episode I\u2019m chatting with Angelina Mastrippolito, a second-generation Italian immigrant about her new book \u2018Le Seconde\u2019. The book details her life growing up in the cane fields of North Queensland in an Italian family. The expectations on women, the strength of her mother and what you can achieve if you are brave enough to take the step.<\/p>\n
This book is resonated with me, as my husband was born in Italy and migrated in 1952 from Italy to Australia with his parents and baby sister at the age of 4.<\/p>\n
What I loved about our conversation was learning about Angelina\u2019s journey and all she has achieved from those early days. It reminded me again of the courage and strength of women and what we can achieve.<\/p>\n
