Equal Power: Gender Equality and How to Achieve It

Equal Power: Gender Equality and How to Achieve It

by JoSwinson (Author)

Synopsis

Why is gender inequality so stubbornly persistent?
Why, even today, does power remain concentrated in the hands of men?
And why do we often feel that the problems of sexism are just too big to solve?

In this inspiring book, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and former Government Minister for Women Jo Swinson outlines the steps we can all take, large and small, to make our businesses, politics and culture truly gender equal. Holding a mirror up to society, Swinson shows the stark extent of the inequality around us, arguing that everyone - from students to CEOs - can work together to create a world of Equal Power.
