About this book
62% of teachers in secondary schools are women but only 39% of secondary headteachers are female
Only 7% of women in education will attempt to negotiate their initial salary offer, compared to 57% of their male counterparts
1 in 4 teachers who quit the classroom in recent years were women aged 30–39
What would you do to make a change today if you were 10% braver?
This is the ultimate guide for women in education.

Each chapter gives advice on how we can all change things for the better, as individuals, in our schools, and across the system, and how you can be part of the #WomenEd movement to improve equality in education for everyone.
