Two people do the same job and are both firefighters. When one is asked what they do for a living, their response is met with: ‘That’s amazing, you are so brave!’, while the other is asked: ‘Isn’t that dangerous? Aren’t you scared? What about your kids?’ Can you guess the difference between the two? These comments are the reality for Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton and many other women at work and in life. Gender biases stop women from succeeding – but why are certain qualities associated with success viewed less favourably for women? After leaving home at 15, going through extreme personal adversity and a period of homelessness, Sabrina gained first-hand experience of the hurdles women face to become successful. In this book, she explores the everyday prejudices women experience through the prism of success.
