Breaking the Boss Bias: How to Get More Women into Leadership by Catherine Fox

For our non-fiction new release, we have Breaking the Boss Bias: How to Get More Women into Leadership by Catherine Fox. This book is a powerful examination of why men still dominate leadership roles, despite the significant presence of women in education, the workforce, and politics. Fox highlights the pervasive gender bias that undermines women’s ascent to leadership, framing leadership as a predominantly masculine endeavour.

In this book, Fox argues that entrenched sexism within organisational structures and cultural norms continues to block women from reaching decision-making positions. She calls for a radical shift in how leadership is perceived and practised, advocating for the dismantling of toxic biases that maintain male privilege and waste untapped female talent. Breaking the Boss Bias is a crucial read for anyone interested in gender equality, leadership, and the future of work.
