A graduate of the ANU (BA, politics and history), Sydney University (BEc) and the Australian Graduate School of Management (MBA), Wallace's publications include "Greer, Untamed Shrew" (Pan Macmillan, 1997; Faber & Faber, 1999) and "The Private Don" (Allen & Unwin, 2004). Recent journal articles include "Libertarian Nation By Stealth" (Griffith Review, 16, 2007) and "Clean, Orderly and Laminex Coloured" (Griffith Review, 19, 2008).

Wallace is a member of the Canberra Press Gallery and has worked for a wide range of print and electronic media outlets there including "The Australian", "Australian Financial Review", "Business Review Weekly" and ABC-TV. She is a regular member of judging panels for the Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism each year. Wallace can be heard on regular radio spots with 666 ABC Radio in Canberra and breakfast on Adelaide's top rating talk station 5AA. She is writing a biography of Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard for publication by Allen & Unwin in 2010, and is a PhD candidate at the National Centre for Biography in the ANU Research School of Social Sciences.
