Reviews

’Man Made gives a graphic, very realistic and convincing account of the injustices that women still endure in our society. The information is well researched, revealing and, often, frankly breathtaking. Anyone concerned about equality and civil rights should study the radical proposals set out clearly in this very readable and truly illuminating call to action.’ Baroness Kinnock, former Foreign Office Minister and MEP ’These fascinating and troubling personal stories of successful women must be read. Women shouldn't have to compensate for not being men. If we listen to the honest and thoughtful voices of a hundred women, each with their own perspective, we will realise the system has to change. We will all be the better for it.’ James Smith, Chair of Carton Trust and formerly Chair of Shell UK ’...prepare to become rapidly inured to such ingrained sexism as this remarkable book unfolds’. People Management, April 2015 ’Man-Made is politically important, because it embodies, and makes vital use of, the hard slog on gender equality of many campaigners and researchers over decades.’ The Guardian online, 18 June 2015
