As we aim to get more women into careers in STEM industries, we can’t let them down by then allowing them to face toxic working cultures. As a woman reading this book, I recognise so many of the behaviours called out, and know many other women who would, too. There are some great tips in here to help you push back when faced with things a man simply wouldn’t be asked to do, let alone tolerate, most probably. But ultimately this is a book that men need to read. You may recognise some of the poor behaviours called out in yourself and others, and I applaud and thank any man that picks up this book to educate themselves. I ask you then to get a copy for a friend and be more ‘Markus’ and hold more ‘Steves’ to account to help shape a workplace that enables more women to flourish. Samantha Niblett, Founder of Labour: Women in Tech

This is a great read; the scenarios Lauren highlights are very powerful (and sometimes cringeworthy) examples of what really happens in organisations and which must continue to be addressed. I absolutely love the ‘top tips’ sections and will be revisiting these! Lisa Waterhouse, Head of UK Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, National Grid

A very interesting format for male allies to learn how they can support women in the workplace! A great and easy read addressing much-needed conversations around inclusion – five stars! Vanessa Vallely OBE, Founder and CEO, WeAreTheCity and WeAreTechWomen
