Why the world of work isn't working for women
You’ve worked hard and you’re proud of your career. But you know there’s more to life than work. You want a life of meaning but you’re not sure if continuing on your current path is the way to get there. Lean in as much as you want: if the structure is broken, you’re going to have to break yourself to fit into it.
When we’re burning the planet (and ourselves) out, feminism means more than increasing the number of women running large companies. Instead, it’s about remaking the world of work so that women who want both career and family are set up to thrive. This explores how it's already happening.
