Summary

A call to arms from the leader of the Liberal Democrats that challenges the persistent inequality of power between men and women.

Equal Power Summary

Equal Power: Gender Equality and How to Achieve It by Jo Swinson

Shortlisted for the 2018 Parliamentary Book Awards (Best Memoir by a Parliamentarian)

Why does power remain concentrated in the hands of men?
And why do the problems of sexism sometimes feel just too big to solve?

In this passionate call to arms, leader of the Liberal Democrats and former Government Minister for Women Jo Swinson outlines the steps we can all take, large and small, to make our businesses, politics and culture truly gender equal. With clear and uncompromising analysis, Swinson shows the stark extent of the inequality around us, arguing that everyone - from students to CEOs - can work together to create a world of Equal Power.

Equal Power Reviews

Provides clear-eyed analysis of the challenges facing women * Sunday Business Post *
I loved this book... Inspiring... There is something for everyone. -- Cath Sell * Nudge *
In the wake of #MeToo and #TimesUp this book is what we need to arm ourselves to make the final push for equality. Real and tangible equality is possible but we need to work together to achieve it and we all need to read this book. -- Nimco Ali
I love this book. Everyone should read it, particularly future generations and those who see themselves as architects of new solutions. We must all acknowledge our absorption of inequality to gain clarity, not just about gender bias, but the bigger picture of marginalization and under-representation as a whole. -- Professor Caryn Franklin MBE
