Power doesn’t work—for women, for men, or for the world. We don’t need to revolutionize women. We need to revolutionize power.

New York Times bestselling authors Katty Kay and Claire Shipman are on a mission to reclaim power for women. In light of radical changes in the way we work, these seasoned journalists are challenging the pre-constructed notions of power and its effects, along with the hidden structures of the establishment that hold women back. From a simple examination of best practices, it has evolved into a manifesto for a new form of power, a distinctly feminine version that is already emerging in workplaces, politics, and at home.

This version is more appealing to women (and most men). It offers women a blueprint on how to shape their professional futures, maximize their influence for the benefit of others, and experience the genuine joy that comes from taking on roles and influencing developments.

Kay and Shipman, writing from their own experiences, interviewed many women from various ages, races, and backgrounds around the world, as well as pioneering academic researchers. Collectively, these perspectives offer a clear and hopeful review of the workplace and our relationships at home, placing women in a renewed and modernized position of power. The time has come for women to take their power back.

Power Governance is both a recipe for social change and a professional guide for women, showing how to harness the power you already have, find new sources of power within yourself and your community, and reshape the workplace and your personal life, resulting in less selfishness, more joy, and maximum impact.
