Summary
Why is there still a gender pay gap in Australia? Why are there still so few women CEOs in the top 200 ASX-listed companies? And why are some women still having to navigate not just glass ceilings but glass cliffs and glass labyrinths at work? A Hell of a Lot of Glass digs deep into answering these questions and why, after more than four decades of anti-discrimination, equal opportunity and affirmative action legislation and policy in Australia, there still is not gender equality at work. Importantly, this book suggests ways we can work towards fixing the problems. Leadership consultant Kate Ramsay draws on her considerable experience in the field of equal opportunity to produce a book that is informative, 'meaty', readable and timely. 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. Whether you're a leader who wants to create a gender-diverse workforce, a change agent asked to achieve inclusion and diversity in your workplace, or a woman juggling work and family responsibilities, this book is for you
