The 100 Women Interviews: Julia Gillard

Yalda Hakim asks Australia's first female prime minister what advice she would offer women who are struggling to break through glass ceilings.

Julia Gillard made history when she became Australia's first female Prime Minister in 2010. But her three years in office were overshadowed by misogynistic attacks from her opponents and dysfunction within her party.
