  3. Thank you Lucy for sharing your research, thoughts and pragramatic approach to enabling women with this previously neglected topic

  4. Fabulous read and a must for all boards.

  5. Brilliant book. A wake up call to organisations to transform from twentieth century structures and policies to those suited to this one. A great reminder that flexibility and adaptability are pre-requisites for economic success. Mid-career women face particular challenges which require these in abundance so that they don’t walk away just when they gave most to offer.
    Thanks Lucy for a stimulating read.

  6. An insightful and inspiring book with practical actions that we should all be taking to change the way mid career women are being viewed and side lined by organisations. A brilliant book for women written by a brilliant woman!

  7. My thanks to Lucy Ryan for starting this vital conversation with such energy. It’s a great read – clear, powerful and inspiring.
