A Good Time to be a Girl: Don't Lean In, Change the System
by Helena Morrissey
I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is probably one of the most important non-fiction reads I can recommend to any people, particularly women, in any kind of business environment. In this book, Helena Morrissey talks about how this is the time for diversity and inclusivity in the workplace.
I really loved the points Helena made in this book about a woman not having to give up her femininity to be a leader in business, and how she doesn’t have to adopt male traits if they aren’t natural to her to succeed in business. How the typical man’s world of business and success is something that needs to be eradicated and we need to create a new model of being on top that includes both male, and female characteristics.
I also thought Helena made a wonderful point when she wrote about talking to everyone about diversity and an inclusive workspace, not just people already interested in it. She’s right in saying that the group of ‘white, straight males’ should have seats in the diversity seminar because they’re the ones that most need to learn and have their eyes open, and pass it on.
I will definitely be buying myself a physical copy of this book because it’s one I will want to reread, and probably highlight, dog-ear, the lot. It’s also one I’ll definitely be buying my friends so they can read, as I think they will love it.
