REVELATORY Irish Times

EMPOWERING Financial Times

LIFE-CHANGING. Lucy Mangan

The revelatory guide to getting a better deal - at work, at home and in life.

The data is clear: the odds are still stacked against women - biologically, culturally and economically. But the same data can help us reclaim our time, energy and joy.

In Femonomics, Professor of Economics Corinne Low explodes the myths around women's success and happiness, revealing why:

  • flexible working isn't enough, we need stronger boundaries
  • the gender happiness gap matters as much as the pay gap
  • true success means prioritising what you value
  • putting family before work can be the smartest choice of all

Blending economics, behavioural science and practical advice, Femonomics shows you how to value your time, invest in the right relationships, navigate every stage of your career and build a life that works for you.
