Susan Adams has produced a fascinating book on gender inequality in the workplace, by pulling together colleagues from different disciplines and covering the topic from various perspectives from the individual to global. There are novel insights into the healthcare sector, gay men in Indian cinema, one woman's reflections on her managerial career in IBM and how women can disadvantage women. Throughout the book the focus is on solutions and the final chapter brings them together in a compelling way. A great read for both academics and practitioners! Sue Vinnicombe, Professor of Women and Leadership, Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University, UK The book gathers compelling analyses and solutions for one of the most important issues of our time: gender inequalities in the workplace. An inspiring and impassioned publication, affirming more than ever that the time for solutions is NOW! Camilla Quental, Associate Professor, Audencia Business School, France This stimulating, insightful, and eclectic book provides a treasure trove of solutions to improve gender equity in leadership and the workplace. Strategies for individual, organizational and societal change based on research evidence are discussed in easily accessible language. The time is right for us to implement these strategies now to advance business and society!
