Testimonials
"So much about the world of work-from workplace culture to our definition of success was created by men, and it's not working for women or indeed for men. And it's no surprise that women pay a disproportionately high price for their participation. That's why it (this book) is so important. it's a passionate, practical roadmap for addressing inequality and finally making our workplaces work for women."
Arianna Huffington
"Insightful and thoroughly engaging, Michelle king provides practical solutions for bringing about tangible and lasting change, as well as an impassioned argument for equity that moves beyond the current discourse on women in the workplace."
Dr Nina Ansary, Author, Scholar, and UN Women Global Champion for Innovation
"Michelle provides actions to take that do not succumb to the notion of'fixing women. Calling for accountability in what too often is a toxic environment is only as important as offering ways to bring about real change in that environment."
Meredith Walker, Founder, Amy Pochler's Smart Girls
"Michelle King candidly shares her own personal experiences and decades of research to reveal the invisible barriers women face at work. Drawing on her exposure to companies that are structured to enable only men to succeed, she suggests that our denial towards gender inequality is hurting women, and challenges the idea that women can improve their way to success. Bravely, Michelle offers the essential message that women are extraordinary as they are, and don't need fixing - workplaces do."
Tamara Mellon, OBE, Co-Founder, Jimmy Choo
