The data is clear: the odds are still stacked against women - biologically, culturally and economically. But the same data can help us reclaim our time, energy and joy.
In Femonomics, Wharton Professor of Economics Corinne Low explodes the myths around women's success and happiness, revealing why:
- flexible working isn't enough, we need stronger boundaries
- the gender happiness gap matters as much as the pay gap
- true success means prioritising what you value
- putting family before work can be the smartest choice of all
Blending economics, behavioural science and practical advice, Femonomics shows you how to value your time, invest in the right relationships, navigate every stage of your career and build a life that works for you.
'Empowering' FINANCIAL TIMES
'A passionate, provocative case for change.' ADAM GRANT
'A book for evey woman. Optimistic and hopeful.' PHILIPPA GREGORY
'Insightful, enlightening, practical. I devoured it.' DEBORAH FRANCES WHITE
"Femonomics focuses on the struggle among women today to balance their roles as producer and reproducer...There are some striking findings... Her manifesto - to recognise the value of "having it almost" - is empowering." - Financial Times
"Bracing...[Low's]forensic focus on time make the book revelatory...rigorous...exhilarating... Femonomics feels like an intervention and a permission slip. It intervenes in a culture that blames women for retreating from marriage and motherhood while refusing to ask why these institutions so reliably erode women's joy. And it gives permission to prioritise their own time, happiness and ambition, even if that means refusing the role they were promised would complete them." - IRISH TIMES
"'Low delivers one of the year's clearest explanations of why so many women feel overstretched at work and at home, with practical strategies that make this book as genuinely useful as it is eye-opening.'" - i Paper
