A call to arms from the leader of the Liberal Democrats that challenges the persistent inequality of power between men and women.

Shortlisted for the 2018 Parliamentary Book Awards (Best Memoir by a Parliamentarian)

Why does power remain concentrated in the hands of men?
And why do the problems of sexism sometimes feel just too big to solve?

In this passionate call to arms, leader of the Liberal Democrats and former Government Minister for Women Jo Swinson outlines the steps we can all take, large and small, to make our businesses, politics and culture truly gender equal. With clear and uncompromising analysis, Swinson shows the stark extent of the inequality around us, arguing that everyone - from students to CEOs - can work together to create a world of Equal Power.

Jo Swinson is a Member of Parliament, and deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats.

First elected at the age of 25, Jo represented her home seat of East Dunbartonshire for a decade until 2015. She wrote Equal Power while out of Parliament, before regaining her seat in the 2017 election.
