A razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis of why we need a new approach to fixing the gender inequality embedded in work.
Even in wealthy democratic countries, gender inequality in paid and unpaid work limits what we can do and who we can be, unfairly tips the scales when it comes to what we get in return, and distorts perceptions of productivity and merit. Yet the loudest voices offer us either Band-Aid solutions, sold to powerful stakeholders with “business case” arguments, or tell us that contemporary arrangements are fair and reflect natural differences between the sexes. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, organizational science, psychology, and sociology, Cordelia Fine offers perceptive and much-needed insight into persistent inequalities in who does what and who gets what, dispels the false assumptions that distract us, and charts a path toward effective, commonsense reforms that will make workplaces and society fairer and freer for everyone.
