This book gathers a lot of research about this issue in one place, making it a useful reference. It also accurately reflects many women's experiences, including my own. The practical guidance and insight it provides is concrete and immediately actionable. In fact, just being aware of the need to ask, even if it's asking in a gender-acceptable way, may be enough of a catalyst to instantly improve women's lives in tangible ways. It's a quick, easy read, and very worthwhile for both men and women, especially those who think they have no gender bias or have never been affected by gender bias.
