Despite countless diversity initiatives, gender inequality in career pathways for women in the modern workplace continues. This book reveals Why. It is a call to action. Drawing on a meticulous study that involved interviews with 70 corporate executives, a survey of 2,000 employees, and comprehensive desk-research, Dr Khan unearths the pernicious impact of gender stereotypes, sexual objectification, and the intricate web of double standards that plague the corporate realm. Yet, her insights resonate beyond finger-pointing and victimhood. With a compelling call for introspection, she exposes an uncomfortable truth: the unintentional contributions that women themselves make to their own oppression. With compelling narrative and insightful analysis, Dr Khan navigates the complex paradox of women inadvertently hindering their own advancement by perpetuating harmful behaviours against each other. "We are not just victims," Dr Khan asserts, as she uncovers the subtle ways women internalise and propagate gender biases, unwittingly becoming agents of their own inequality.Dr. Khan courageously delves into the heart of gender dynamics, rejecting easy answers and superficial solutions. She emboldens women to recognise their role as agents of change, capable of dismantling biases within themselves and their surroundings. This isn't a book merely about gender; it's a testament to the change that's possible when both women and men rally together, advocating for progress, fostering solidarity, and creating a fertile ground where everyone can rise. Her message is clear: true empowerment requires acknowledging personal agency while dismantling systemic barriers.Each chapter includes exercises and recommendations for readers to foster working environments where potential knows no gender bounds. If you're ready to challenge the status quo, embrace personal agency, and drive profound transformation in your workplace, "The Power of Women" is your practical and revelatory guide.
