‘Life-changing… I feel like I’ve entered a whole new, streamlined era. Looking at life through a Femonomics lens is that rare thing – a genuinely empowering endeavour.’ LUCY MANGAN
‘This is a book for evey woman. Optimistic and hopeful.’ PHILIPPA GREGORY
‘A passionate, provocative case for change.’ ADAM GRANT
IT’S NOT IN YOUR HEAD. IT’S IN THE DATA.
To be a woman today is to be overwhelmed from every angle. The data proves that the odds are still stacked against us – biologically, culturally, economically. But that same data can empower us to make choices that will reclaim our time, energy and help us find joy.
In Femonomics, economist Corinne Low explodes the myths about what makes women successful and happy such as:
– What if flexible working isn’t the answer, and we actually need more boundaries?
– What if the gender happiness gap was as important as the gender pay gap?
– What if you had the power to prioritise things you actually value, rather than the things that other people value?
– What if being more ‘successful’ actually meant putting family before work?
Femonomics gives you the tools to design the life you want. It will teach you how to turn your time into money, how to work out what you value, how to invest in the right partner, how to plan your career at every stage, how to organise your family life – and ultimately how to make the world work for you.

A groundbreaking book. A brilliant, evidence-based roadmap for navigating the unique challenges faces by women.
'An evidence-based look at how to overcome the barriers that still hold women back. Corinne Low is an influential economist, and she presents a passionate, provocative case for changes to boost women's earning power and well-being. This isn't just a book for women - it's filled with insights to help men better understand and support the women in their lives.'
This is a book for every woman. It uses detailed research to show how women get squeezed out of careers and into the home, and economic analysis to show how to get rewarded for your work - paid and unpaid. Practical and hopeful
An enlightening, meticulously researched exposé of the systemic forces behind economic gender gaps - and an inspiring, powerful guide to negotiating those gaps and forging a path to success, validation, and joy.
'The more I read, the more I felt that a wise, steely friend was reaching out across the abyss, offering to escort me to the far side of chaos and settle me there... To say this was life-changing sounds disingenuous, but I really believe that once your eyes are opened to this stuff, you can't go back to being blinkered.... The process of assuming that you have value, that your time has quantifiable value, is deeply educational... I feel like I've entered a whole new, streamlined era... Looking at life through a Femonomics lens is that rare thing - a genuinely empowering endeavour.'
