Four Years with Labor and Beyond.

Cheryl Kernot's move to the Labor party in October 1997 was accompanied by much optimism and expectation. This is her account of what happened.

Cheryl Kernot chronicles the early euphoria, the slow unravelling, the broken promises, the dawning disillusionment, her attempts to rescue herself, the campaigns against her, the effects on her health and family, and the ultimate loss of her seat in the election of November 2001. This is also the story of her liberation and how she decided to fight back.

Cheryl Kernot's struggle to be heard and to be taken seriously for her intellectual contribution mirrors the struggles of many women. She gives her perspective on why the Labor experiment didn't work. She challenges the shallow media interpretations of how "good" and "successful" politicians should behave and how politics should be conducted.

But rather than just another politician's story this is the story of a woman, who was also a politician. In her own words, "I want my knowledge of recent history to rank alongside the mythologies for women to understand. They are wondering what happened."
