Equal Power: A Handbook for Men and Women

Why is gender inequality so stubbornly persistent? Power. Even today, power remains concentrated in the hands of men right across the worlds of business, politics, and culture. Decisions taken by those with power tend to perpetuate gender inequality rather than accelerate solutions, and those who see the problem often feel powerless: ingrained sexism and gender inequality can seem too huge to solve.

Equal Power holds a mirror up to society, showing the stark extent of gender inequality while making the case that everyone has the power to create change. Whether you are a teenage student, a global CEO, or a taxi driver, there is much you can do to create a world of equal power. In this inspiring and essential book, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and former Government Minister for Women, Jo Swinson outlines the steps we can all take, small and large, to make society truly gender equal.
