SOS: A Navigation Guide for Women at Work is an accessible and practical guide for women and men to improve gender equality, embrace diversity and rewrite the unwritten rules of the workplace.
This transformative handbook addresses common challenges faced by women, including productivity, parenting, the pay gap—and, of course, guilt. These multifaceted issues need multifaceted solutions, so each topic is addressed through the SOS framework:
Self: what can you do yourself
Others: how can others help you and how can you help others, and
System: how the system and the (unwritten) rules should change—and what you can do to support this change.
SOS is a call to women and their allies, encouraging them to be the architects of change in their professional environments.

About the Author
Trained as a lawyer, Chantal Korteweg feels strongly about social justice. She is a strategic executor and contributes to making our world a better and more inclusive, sustainable place. She has become an all-around professional as an attorney-at-law and a development banker, and now she is the Director for Inclusive Banking at the Dutch bank ABN AMRO.
Chantal grew up in England and the Netherlands, sparking her love for travel and culture and her interest in different perspectives. She enjoys getting the best out of herself and others, and she always wants to learn. She initiated the Fempower Your Growth program, a Dutch Financial Sector initiative, connecting the worlds of bankers and female entrepreneurs. She pays it forward by being a mentor and an advisory board member. She has been appointed as the Women’s Representative for the Netherlands in 2023, and she will provide a statement to the UN General Assembly in 2023 about financial inequality between women and men and the importance of financial independence of women.
Chantal lives in Leiden, the Netherlands, with her 11-year-old son, 9-year-old daughter, and 3-year-old dog.
Marijn Wiersma is a corporate anthropologist and the founder of Incredible Impact, a company founded to unlock the potential of female entrepreneurs and leaders in service of a better world. Currently, she works as the Director of Partnership and Innovation at the 2X Collaborative. She is the co-author of the book Banking for a Better World and an expert on diversity and financial inclusion. As a visionary, multi-linguist, and free thinker, she is creative, curious, and innovative.
Marjin founded Zambia’s first private nursing school. She is an ESG and gender expert and an executive coach. A lover of storytelling, she organized TEDxLeiden and various Future of Finance events, facilitated female leadership programs, and has made a docuseries on female role models in the financial sector. Her twenty-plus years of sustainable development experience led her to Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Europe.
Marijn has lived on three continents, worked in more than 35 countries, and is a mother of four. She currently resides in the Netherlands.
Tessel van Willigen is a management trainee at Hieroo Amsterdam, where she works on social projects to create positive impact in the region. She has a master’s degree in Human Geography and is specialist in International Development Studies.
Tessel interned for Incredible Impact, a company founded with the aim to unlock the potential of female entrepreneurs and female leaders in service of a better world. As part of her bachelor’s degree, Tessel studied for one semester at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. There she found her strength as a connector: bringing together different cultures, disciplines, and points of view to make a positive difference.
Tessel couples her strong analytical mind with an enthusiastic and hands-on mentality to create positive impact. Tessel is continuously in search of new insights, has a passion to learn, and does not shy away from challenging situations. She lives in Amsterdam with three friends.
Lidewij Wiersma is a veterinarian with a penchant for collecting academic titles: She has a bachelor’s degree in immunology and virology, a veterinary degree, and a PhD in emerging respiratory zoonoses, and she’s also a board-certified veterinary specialist in pathology. She is a serial-CEO, first of the European Board of Veterinary Specialization (EBVS) and now of Veterinary Continuous Education in Europe (VetCEE). She has also worked as a consultant for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations since 2016.
Lidewij feels strongly about contributing to the current wave of feminism. Although she has been offered leadership opportunities, she has turned them down to date, awaiting meaningful change in our workplace culture—and doing her part to inspire that change.
Lidewij has lived in nine countries on three continents, and she has finally settled in Italy. She lives on five hectares of land in the countryside just north of Rome, with her Italian husband and their two sons, two horses, two goats, a cow, a pig, a dog, and a herd of 60 olive trees.

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
