| Description | Why are government, business, the institutions and so much of British life dominated by men? Tutchell and Edmonds find the answers by interviewing over a hundred successful women and discovering what it takes for a woman to get to the top. The statistics are startling. In Britain 80 per cent of the most powerful jobs are occupied by men and only 20 per cent by women.The authors uncover the cultural and historical reasons for this extraordinary imbalance of power. In spite of its claim to be a modern nation, Britain is conditioned by a legacy that views men as doers and leaders and expects women to be helpers and supporters. Many men still judge women more by their appearance than by their ability.Most shocking of all, the book reveals that the birth of children pushes the careers of most women into crisis. Mothers are paid less and promoted less. Ambitious women are tempted to make their children ‘invisible’ to employers. |
