Kasey Edwards is an Australian feminist author and columnist.
Early life and education
Edwards was born in Melbourne but spent part of her early childhood on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.[citation needed] Her father was a teacher in an international school for workers in a Canadian nickel mine located in Sulawesi. [citation needed] Edwards attended Runcorn High School in Brisbane Australia. [citation needed] Edwards graduated with a business degree from QUT, Brisbane, Australia in 1996.[citation needed] She also is a Masters in Change Management and Innovation from Griffith University, Australia.[citation needed] Edwards started her career in business working for the Australian Trade Commission and on Business Club Australia, the official business programs for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. She lived in the Netherlands for several years where she specialised in ebusiness consulting.[citation needed] Returning to Australia in 2004 she worked for management consulting firm SMS and then PA Consulting where she was made redundant when PA Consulting's Australian operations closed.[citation needed] In 2008 she became a change management consultant for SAP.[citation needed] She was made redundant from that role on the same day her first book was published.
Books
Edward's books include 30-Something and Over It: What Happens when you Wake Up and Don't Want to go to Work. Ever Again.[1] [2][3][4] and 30-Something and the Clock Is Ticking: What Happens When You Can No Longer Ignore the Baby Question,[5] both published by Mainstream, an imprint of Random House (UK). Her books have been republished by Random House in Australia, and translated by publishers in Germany, Finland, the Netherlands and Portugal.[citation needed] She also wrote a book about positive body image which was critical of the diet industry, titled Kill The Fat Girl, but she was unable to find a commercial publisher to buy it.[citation needed] 30-Something and Over It is a memoir documenting Edwards' dissatisfaction with work and career.[citation needed] In it, she explores the idea of a 'thrisis' — a thirty-something crisis.[citation needed] Edwards told Body & Soul that a thrisis is 'looking forward and being terrified of spending the next 30 years in a state of unfulfilled monotony'.[6]
Edwards writes a column for the Australian feminist website Daily Life,[7] published by Fairfax.
Edwards has also written two books of satire: OMG! That's Not My Child...He's Sharing[8] and OMG! That's Not My Husband... both published by Prion Books, an imprint of Carlton Publishing Group. The books satirise the picture book series 'That's Not My...' published by Usborne.[citation needed]
