Recommendation

Law and business professors Lynn Roseberry and Johan Roos reviewed 60 years of gender-related research in history, law, psychology and the sciences. They interviewed students, politicians and corporate leaders. And now they report their findings to you. After introducing compelling data on the nature of the gender gap, they use each chapter to address a different common argument against “gender balance.” Their statistics are occasionally confusing or even a bit contradictory, but their discussions are impressive and sage, without being dry or boring. The authors’ solid arguments against common gender misconceptions offer executives and HR professionals new insights into positive changes they can implement. getAbstract recommends this worthy overview to businesspeople seeking to address the gender gap.

Take-Aways

  • Women hold 10% to 20% of leadership positions in politics and the workplace.
  • “Gender balance” affects the bottom lines of businesses and national economies.
  • Today’s workplace replicates social and business practices of the 19th century.
