This book about the strides and shortcomings in equality been men and women is thoughtful and focused on solutions. The author repeatedly points out what works - I particularly thought the sections on diversity programs was very interesting - and how men need to be brought into the conversation about women's equality. This book doesn't have all the answers, but it may point the way towards more practical solutions that works focused on theory.

I like this book. I would probably recommend it as a primer on the research and perspective on the topic of women and work, though I have some quibbles, it's generally a good recap of the studies and approaches.

I was hoping to get more about "what men need to know" and how to engage men in ways that don't make them feel "guilty" or "beaten by a 2X4". I didn't feel there was much explicit advice on that front, besides 'the goals of diversity align with the goals of existing metrics of profit and success'. It did discuss how we've seen backlash on trainings and sometimes diversity training can be counterproductive. But, we don't really know the answer.

All in all, an easy read, comprehensive on a number of topics, largely based on research. The interpretation of the research is generally good and in line with the data. The major issue I have is with the chapter on crying. That chapter just really didn't seem helpful and I'm not sure those studies are very good.

I listened to the audiobook during my commute. It was a good alternative, since I'm not trying to look up the references. I've already read most of them.... except that one study at Carnegie Mellon on job ads. I know job ads are profiling people based on age, but sex too seemed crazy. But, so it is.
