‘This book is exactly what is says it is: a very practical guide to the structural issues in workplaces and society that have blocked women’s progress, and a toolkit with ideas for fixing them. The USP of this book, distinguishing it from many others in the same genre, is the inclusion of case studies and tips from many senior UK business leaders.’
