Gender Equal Pay? Eventually
Posted on February 21st, 2019 by Jane
Gender pay gap reporting is still a new idea in UK and not everyone is complying. But the information we have is pretty interesting as you can see here. Plus, the sports pay gap, and how employers advertise their jobs. This post also includes an update on my personal development courses for women and, weirdly maybe, a picture of my kitchen… Kitchen table talk

How good are you at looking after yourself. In this post we look at what is a beige diet and how it changed Jeanette’s Hyde’s life, and how attitudes towards women’s bodies are changing as women reclaim the imagery for themselves.

Women’s Voices – We’re Mad But Not Insane!
Posted on November 20th, 2018 by Jane
Women’s voices are not heard. And if we speak up so much that we cannot be ignored we are often subject to abuse, often by doubting our sanity. Because women that question the patriarchy, the established order, must be mad, mustn’t they? Just ask Carole Cadwalladr.
A *Paean of Praise to Caitlin Moran – How to Be Famous
Posted on October 22nd, 2018 by Jane
Has Caitlin Moran written a book that will go down as a great piece of feminist literature? Who knows? I think so. I think it’s a witty, laugh out loud, tear inducing novel of our time and that it should be compulsory reading in all schools. It is an explanation and a rebuttal for #MeToo. It is simply glorious. How to Be Famous, read it.
Are You an Underground Woman?
Posted on July 11th, 2018 by Jane
Do you hate your job? Are you beavering away in the dark and allowing your light to be hidden? Maybe it’s time to come out into the sunshine and take a risk or two?

If Men Are The Problem Are Women the Answer?
Posted on June 18th, 2018 by Jane
We have all fallen into the trap of thinking that the way men behave is the norm, the way it has to be. The male yardstick.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Women do it differently. Maybe we all should consider for a moment that perhaps the womanly way is better?
My message to those top execs who had to make feeble excuses about not enough of the right women out there… Cripes, we women always have to help men find things. ;>)
