Hear Me Roar

A memoir blending personal storytelling and science, this book follows Erna Walraven’s journey as one of Australia's pioneering female zookeepers in the 1980s, amid workplace harassment and societal expectations. Through her experiences and insights from animal behavior, she challenges stereotypes about female strength and leadership in both the animal kingdom and human society. Rich with scientific evidence and evolutionary history, the narrative celebrates resilience, femininity, and the lessons animals teach about feminism.
