“This is an interesting and timely book, given the obligation in the UK for large organizations to publish their (admittedly skimpy) gender pay gap data, and the prevalence in the media of stories about women in the media and elsewhere being paid less than colleagues. … this book should be essential reading for those interested in their abolition.” (Harriet Bradley, Journal of Social Policy, Vol. 48 (2), April, 2019)
