A very fast listen, read by Ms Beard herself. It's a great introduction to how things are and why. It does not go into how to make changes.

Being a female in a male dominated industry starting in the 1980s means I've been on the receiving end of the sort of bias and prejudice the author is writing about. I've even had to point out to women how their view of ‘pushy' or ‘loud' women is most likely inaccurate due to bias and that I'm most likely described the same way just for being a woman in this time and place and not sticking to the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.

I'm looking forward to a book that talks about how to make changes.
