In 1960s Canada, ambition isn't ladylike-unless you're Peggy Brennan.
Peggy has one dream: to become a hard-hitting journalist in a world that still thinks women belong in the society pages. Fiercely independent and proudly uninterested in romance, she pushes against every boundary her era tries to draw around her.
When she lands a junior position at a bustling city newsroom, Peggy is determined to prove herself through grit, integrity, and sheer talent. But her convictions are tested when she crosses paths with John Grant-the charismatic young editor who sees her potential long before anyone else does.
John offers mentorship, opportunity... and a distraction Peggy never asked for.
As Peggy fights to carve out her place in the male-dominated world of journalism, she must confront her deepest question:
Can she rise to the career she's always wanted without compromising who she is- or will her dreams be derailed by the one thing she's sworn to avoid?
A spirited story of ambition, identity, and the shifting tides of feminism, Carrying On captures a young woman's struggle to define success on her own terms.
