Despite countless diversity initiatives, gender inequality persists for women in the workplace and this book reveals why and is a call to action.
Drawing on interviews with 70 corporate executives, a survey of 2,000 employees, and comprehensive desk research, Dr Parves Khan exposes an uncomfortable truth: that women themselves are unintentionally contributing to their own oppression. This book uncovers the subtle ways that women internalise and propagate gender biases, unwittingly becoming agents of their own inequality and more importantly how we can stop this. Amongst other fascinating findings, Dr Parves Khan's research found:
Women will be encouraged to recognise their role as agents of change, capable of dismantling biases within themselves and their surroundings. Men will be encouraged to join women in calling out the stereotypes and double standards that plague the corporate realm. Her message is that true empowerment requires acknowledging personal agency in dismantling systemic barriers. This isn't a book merely about gender; it's a testament to the change that's possible when both women and men rally together, advocating for progress, fostering solidarity, and creating a fertile ground where everyone can rise.
If you're ready to challenge the status quo, embrace personal agency, and drive profound transformation in your workplace, The Power of Women is your revelatory but practical guide. Each chapter includes exercises and recommendations for readers to foster environments where potential knows no gender bounds.
