Description
The Motherhood Penalty: A Toolkit for Change For many women, becoming a mother is a life-changing event that can have a profound impact on their career. But what happens when this change is met with unfair treatment in the workplace? Joeli Brearley knows firsthand the devastating effects of pregnancy-related discrimination, having been sacked from her job after telling her boss she was expecting a child. This book is a powerful expose of the systemic barriers that women face in the workplace, and a practical guide for how to challenge them. With the help of 54,000 women who have been forced out of their jobs due to pregnancy, Brearley provides a toolkit for navigating the complex and often unfair world of maternity discrimination. Whether you're a working mother who wants to balance your career and family life, or a stay-at-home mother who wants to return to work, this book offers valuable advice and support.
