Of Women: In the 21st Century by Shami Chakrabarti

3.0

It’s a bit like preaching to the choir, if you pick this book up, the likelihood is that you have some sense of the inequality that exists. There is nothing that really comes as a surprise, depressing as that may be. What I thought was lacking or an opportunity missed, was practical ways in which the reader could choose to overturn these imbalances. Given the authors career as the head of Liberty and a current Labour peer, I would have thought she would be well placed to suggest ideas. So a conclusion which just summarises the previous chapters and makes sweeping statements of how things should change without suggesting how, was disappointing.
