Glass Half-Broken

Glass Half-Broken by Colleen Ammerman, published by Harvard Business Review Press in 2021, delves into the persistent gender gap in the workforce and offers actionable strategies for closing it. With 304 pages of insightful analysis, Ammerman explores why, despite women constituting approximately half of the college-educated workforce, disparities remain prevalent. The book examines the historical context leading to this gap and highlights the progress made before the economic crisis of 2020, which saw the lowest recorded difference in labor force participation between men and women. Glass Half-Broken is an essential read for anyone interested in economics, gender equality, and workforce dynamics, providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in achieving true equity in the workplace.
