The Power of Women

About this book

Feminism is often presented as a women's movement, but the truth is that harnessing women's untapped potential will make everyone better off… including men!

Looking to our personal relationships, social and cultural climate and business and economic potential, The Power of Women debunks the myths around feminism, and proves why an intersectional approach to bringing women to the table is key to personal, social and economic progress for society as a whole.
