Two people are firefighters and do the same job. When one is asked what they do for a living, their response is met with: 'That's amazing, you are so brave!', while the other is asked: 'Isn't that dangerous? Aren't you scared? What about your kids?' Can you guess the difference between the two?
These comments are the reality for Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton and many other women at work and in life. Gender biases prevent women from succeeding - but why are certain qualities associated with success viewed less favorably for women?
After leaving home at 15, experiencing extreme personal adversity and a period of homelessness, Sabrina gained firsthand experience of the hurdles women face to become successful. In The Gender Bias, she explores the everyday prejudices women encounter through the lens of success. From leadership to risk-taking, perception and failure, Sabrina exposes the invisible barriers that are holding women back.
Through an analysis of studies and data, Sabrina explains why women are judged differently, examines why that matters, and offers practical solutions on how we can address our biases and break down persistent systems.
