But women often get paid less than men, even when they're doing equal work. Mostly they don't know because pay is secret. But what if a woman finds out? What should she do? What should her male colleague do? What should the boss do?Equal is the inside story of how award-winning journalist Carrie Gracie challenged unequal pay at the BBC, alongside a wider investigation into why men and women are still paid unequally.

It's a book that will open your eyes, fix your resolve and give you the tools to act - and act now.

Equal is a very important book' Sandi ToksvigLonglisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award 2019
