Don’t Fix Women

This book dispels a form of taboo regarding the impact of private matters on the professional sphere. It sheds light on the difficulties women face due to their biological condition as well as the societal roles that predominantly fall to them. How do motherhood, but also menstruation, menopause and the difficulties of childbirth affect the careers of many women? And how can this impact be limited by recognizing the nature of these obstacles without encroaching on people’s privacy or reinforcing stereotypes? The author shows that, beyond ethical and feminist issues, this is an important economic challenge for organizations, given the number of people involved.
