Lucy provides a compelling answer to why few women are in top executive roles
Our research at Cranfield University focuses on the lack of women in leadership in FTSE companies. Why are there so few women in those top executive roles? Dr Ryan supplies a compelling answer in sharing the experiences of senior women in business and the challenges they have in navigating menopause. Women don’t lose their energy or their ambition midlife, but they do need support from their companies. Arguably the kinds of changes these women would like to make to the ways they work might benefit everyone and help to foster a truly inclusive workplace

Sparkle of Female Genuis
“I’d love to live in a world where this book wasn’t necessary - where women are no longer damned if they do and doomed if they don’t. This deeply researched, profoundly thoughtful book may make you angry, but more importantly, it will inspire you to explore that “sparkle of female genius “ that allows women to take on the world in their later years. Bravo Lucy for shinning a spotlight on the growing number of Revolting Women”
