A Woman Unbeaten: the story of a young woman's struggle to find herself in 1970s Ireland

You and I have told a few white lies in our time. We all have. But what if, in spite of yourself, you started telling bigger lies to explain the little ones because you stood to lose everything if the truth came out. Set in the advertising world of Dublin and London in the mid 1970s, A Woman Unbeaten is the story of a naïve young woman from the west of Ireland who succeeds beyond her wildest dreams, but then has to make a choice that may cost her everything: friends, family, reputation, home and career. *** Written by an American writer from Indianapolis who has lived in Ireland since 1974 and was a successful copywriter in Dublin for many years, this novel ably depicts an Ireland that young Irish people will hardly recognize. Yet it was the reality for Irish women 40 years ago.
