At a time when some corporate women leaders encourage their peers to 'lean in' for greater opportunities, this book highlights the underlying structures of organizational culture that sustain gender inequality. It argues that transforming unspoken, informal institutional norms is crucial for achieving gender equity in organizations. Drawing on interviews with 30 leaders who have advanced gender equality, international case studies, and nearly fifteen years of experience from a collaborative of gender equality experts, the book showcases diverse examples. From Dalit women's groups in India fighting structural discrimination in a major employment program to activists challenging the UN Security Council on mass rape as a war tactic, these narratives inspire readers to confront the deep-rooted structures of gender discrimination in policies and practices. Targeted at practitioners, policymakers, donors, students, and researchers focused on gender and organizational change, it provides a widely tested analytical tool—the Gender at Work Analytical Framework—to identify and address the often hidden structures of gender bias and to develop effective strategies for change.
