Despite countless diversity initiatives, gender inequality in career pathways for women in the modern workplace continues. This book reveals Why. It is a call to action.
Drawing on a meticulous study that involved interviews with 70 corporate executives, a survey of 2,000 employees, and comprehensive desk-research, Dr Khan unearths the pernicious impact of gender stereotypes, sexual objectification, and the intricate web of double standards that plague the corporate realm. Yet, her insights resonate beyond finger-pointing and victimhood. With a compelling call for introspection, she exposes an uncomfortable truth: the unintentional contributions that women themselves make to their own oppression. With compelling narrative and insightful analysis, Dr Khan navigates the complex paradox of women inadvertently hindering their own advancement by perpetuating harmful behaviours against each other. "We are not just victims," Dr Khan asserts, as she uncovers the subtle ways women internalise and propagate gender biases, unwittingly becoming agents of their own inequality.
Dr. Khan courageously delves into the heart of gender dynamics, rejecting easy answers and superficial solutions. She emboldens women to recognise their role as agents of change, capable of dismantling biases within themselves and their surroundings.
This isn't a book merely about gender; it's a testament to the change that's possible when both women and men rally together, advocating for progress, fostering solidarity, and creating a fertile ground where everyone can rise. Her message is clear: true empowerment requires acknowledging personal agency while dismantling systemic barriers.
Each chapter includes exercises and recommendations for readers to foster working environments where potential knows no gender bounds. If you're ready to challenge the status quo, embrace personal agency, and drive profound transformation in your workplace, "The Power of Women" is your practical and revelatory guide.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
