Breaking the bamboo ceiling: Young Asian Australian women share their tips for success

by Ashleigh Barraclough, ABC News, posted 11.09.21

While Asian Australians continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions, some young women have managed to break through the "bamboo ceiling".

The ABC spoke to four finalists in the 2021 40 Under 40 Most Influential Asian-Australians Awards — a nanotechnology engineer, a ballet dancer, a human rights lawyer and a telco executive — about the challenges they have faced in their careers.

The awards are an initiative of the Asian-Australian Leadership Summit, and the ABC is a media partner.
