Patriarchy Inc.: What We Get Wrong About Gender Equality and Why Men Still Win at Work

'Excellent and incredibly timely' Caroline Criado-Perez, author of Invisible Women 'You should read this book' Philippa Gregory

The most lucrative industries are male-dominated - yet half of men think they're the ones being discriminated against. Post #MeToo, we're all committed to stamping out sexual harassment - but not to changing the conditions that foster it. Women work more hours than men and accumulate less wealth - while many children want more time with their dad.

Inequality in the workplace impacts all areas of our lives, from health and self-development to economic security and family life. But, despite the world's richest countries' long-avowed commitments to gender equality, there is still so much to fix - and so much we don't see.

With perceptive and razor-sharp insight, award-winning author Cordelia Fine reveals how the status quo - Patriarchy Inc. - is harming us all, in our working lives and beyond. Drawing on social and cultural history, examples from hunter-forager societies to high finance and the latest thinking in evolutionary science, she dismantles the existing, inadequate visions for gender equality and charts an inspiring path towards a fairer and freer society.
