Publishers Description: Australian women are suffering from a crisis of confidence about work. Accustomed to being overlooked and undervalued, even when women do get to the top, they explain their success away as ‘luck. But its not. Not Just Lucky exposes the structural and cultural disadvantages that rob women of their confidence often without them even realising it. Drawing on case studies, detailed research and her own experience in politics and media, Jamila Rizvi is the warm, witty and wise friend youve been waiting for. Shell give you everything you need to start fighting for your own success and for a more inclusive, equal workplace for all. (Shell also bring the red wine.) This unashamedly feminist career manifesto is for women who worry theyll look greedy if they ask for more money. Its for women who dream big but dread the tough conversations.
