The author uses accessible language and examples to illustrate the complex dynamics of gender discrimination in leadership and politics. You don't need to be a gender expert to follow it but, at the same time, if you've read a few books on this topic already you can still find new things to learn as the author covers a broad list of situations where this phenomenon is present.
As a young woman with leadership ambitions I'm aware that I will face obstacles in my journey because of my gender. I was very happy to read a book that presented the magnitude of this problem, provided me with tools to help combat the situation in my community and gave me hope for the future! It was a quick read that left me wanting to learn more about these issues. I look forward to seeing what Lucy comes out with next!

Clear and thought-provoking, Lucy uses the first half of her book to succinctly describe challenges faced by women in politics and leadership positions. The follow-up sections, however—changes being made and actions to take in the future—feel somewhat lacking. Still, this is a strong debut and does an excellent job at introducing a complex problem to a general audience. I look forward to reading future publications.
Full review to come.
Disclaimer? I guess? Lucy was a teammate of mine at McGill Figure Skating, and I have nothing but good things to say about her character.
