The book throws the notion that women need to change themselves in order to be a valuable addition to the workplace and presents the reader with relevant research and historical context that workplaces were and still are today designed for men. “Women are encouraged to power dress, speak louder, and act more assertively – in other words, act like men to fit in at work.” King shares her own experiences working with women that are often made to believe they are the problem, who work twice as hard attempting to ‘fix’ themselves by pushing themselves to become recognised for their achievements and indispensable to their company.
