A Hell of a Lot of Glass
Paperback Edition: 1
The author Kate Ramsay draws on her considerable experience in the field of equal opportunity to produce a book that is informative, meaty, readable, and timely. Timely, because leaders are frustrated about finding solutions to these questions. Timely also, because the book outlines some important legislative changes about the gender pay gap and other employer responsibilities that leaders need to know about.
Targeted research by three contributing authors provides context, while interviews with 25 women provide fascinating and sometimes alarming details of their experiences in the workplace. Each chapter is a stand-alone essay on topics ranging from sexism and misogyny to imposter syndrome and the elephant in the room of unconscious biases. Chapters are structured in sections: research, supporting anecdotes from interviewees, what more can be done, and conclusions.
A hell of a lot of glass makes an important contribution to ongoing discussion on this topic. Its a must read for leaders keen to create a gender diverse workforce, for change agents with the inclusion and diversity portfolio in their workplaces, for women juggling work and family responsibilities and for all of us who want equality at work.
