Case studies from real women at work demonstrate the barriers that hold women back and the conflicts that they face if they choose to start a family. Readers will explore “how we got here” and the movements, milestones, and men who have shaped where women stand in the workplace today.

Action items throughout the book offer small and quick exercises that become stepping stones to larger solutions. 
The past decade has been a whirlwind of fighting for equity, seeing the consequences of small-scale strategies, and being pushed back by the COVID-19 pandemic.
