The Briefing · Antoinette Lattouf on power, scandal & women who win · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

And she was like, no, for too long women have copped it and gone away.

And she just refused that.

And so I guess we had that connection.

And interestingly enough, when I, in my research, I came across her story and I went to find her and I couldn't get her on email.

Then I go to X and I go to message her on X. And then only to learn that I have a message from her.

She'd reached out to me about seven months prior and said, Antoinette, I'm here if you need support.

I know what it's like to take on a large organisation that's done wrong.

You can do this.

Don't let the bastards win.

And so she was also incredibly generous.

And so, yeah, she's probably someone I resonate with.

But then in terms of resilience and preparing myself for whichever way it would go, that was something I had to, because as I'm writing this book, I have no idea how things are going to pan out.

Fortunately and unfortunately, I learnt a lot from First Nations women, both the historical figures and the contemporary ones I interviewed, because so often things can continue to be unjust, that wins can be small, and sometimes existing and fighting back is a win in itself.

Having presence, refusing to shrink, refusing to be cast aside as an angry brown woman or an inconvenient black woman.

And so...

First Nations women taught me a lot about continuing to show up even if it feels impossible and unfair because that's what First Nations communities continue to do in the face of great injustice and when we're seeing so many indicators demonstrating that quality of life and justice and equality aren't improving for First Nations people.

I did have some high profile women in the book, but what I was most drawn to was telling the stories of women who are overlooked or forgotten or generally have less power.

So that's women with disabilities, women from regional areas, women from working class backgrounds.

I make a note at one point in this book, this is not a book about smashing the glass ceiling in a corporate space.

This is not it.
