Summary Note |
"For ten years, Australian women have been sold a dazzling promise: through sheer 'will' and individual self-empowerment they could overcome decades of gender inequality in the workplace.Yet leaning in, power-posing and speaking up (and being spoken over) at the boardroom table have made very little difference for the great majority of women, still underpaid and overworked compared to their male colleagues. The COVID-19 pandemic has shockingly revealed the fragile foundations of women's working lives. With a female workforce exodus on the cards, we are now at crisis point. And yet Australian women are still being told to 'Lean In' at precisely the moment when so many are tempted to lean out. The turmoil of the last two years has given us a rare and urgent opportunity for a reimagining. Here, Kristine Ziwica plots a part forward for Australian women at work in a remarkable manifesto for what we can - and should - do with this moment." - Back cover. |
