The gender bias
£18.99Two 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.

#GIRLBOSS
£9.99The first things Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn’t fashion. It was a stolen book. At age 17 she was a dumpster-diving, shoplifting anarchist. By 29 she was the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus fashion empire. Filled with brazen wake-up calls, cunning and frank observations, and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal’s meteoric rise, this book is more than Amoruso’s story, it is a book for anyone seeking a unique path to success – even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers.
