Allyship Actually

Why it's 'We' and not 'Me'

About this book

The Oxford Learner's Dictionary defines allyship as:

"the state of being an ally (= a person who helps and supports somebody) to a particular group of people that you yourself do not belong to, in order to help ensure their basic rights and ability to be happy and successful in society"

This book exposes the problems that arise from a patriarchal or narrow-minded work culture. It tells the story of professionals in multiple industries where they are confronted by male dominance or discrimination. We see how characters become allies for each other to support personal and professional development.

Allyship Actually follows Lucy – a spirited newcomer to the tech industry – and David – a seasoned professional – as their paths and those of other characters cross in unexpected ways, against a bustling London backdrop.

The characters' careers develop amid toxic cultures. Based on real-life events, the narrative gives a vivid depiction of Lucy and David's frustration with outdated work cultures, and their efforts to support colleagues suffering inequity or harassment.
