Thank you to the publisher for this copy in exchange for an honest review. 


TL;DR: UGH


The subtitle of this should be “The Future of Mothers and Work” as that is the focus of this. 

This book focuses on mothers, lack of support, and burn out in the work place and that is not mentioned at all in the synopsis on the back of the book. 

As a single, childless woman in the corporate world, it’s clear I’m not the target audience for this book. Further more, the lack of mentions of women without children in workplace here is ridiculous. If you’re going to title a book “Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work (and Why It’s Different Than You Think”, INCLUDE ALL WOMEN. 

Completely disregarding how women without children are also discriminated against literally undermines the synopsis of the book.
