Summary
'I have given it to every one of my female friends.' LUCY MANGAN
'Revelatory...rigorous...exhilarating' IRISH TIMES
'I loved it, my husband loved it, and I've sent copies to my sisters and closest friends . . . who then turned around and told me how much it helped them too.' - 5* READER REVIEW
The data is clear: the odds are still stacked against women - biologically, culturally and economically. But the same data can help us reclaim our time, energy and joy.
In Femonomics, Wharton Professor of Economics Corinne Low explodes the myths around women's success and happiness, revealing why:
- flexible working isn't enough, we need stronger boundaries
- the gender happiness gap matters as much as the pay gap
- true success means prioritising what you value
- putting family before work can be the smartest choice of all
Blending economics, behavioural science and practical advice, Femonomics shows you how to value your time, invest in the right relationships, navigate every stage of your career and build a life that works for you.

Critic Reviews
'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.' (ADAM GRANT, bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and HIDDEN POTENTIAL, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking)
'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.' (LUCY MANGAN)
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 (Philippa Gregory, bestselling author of NORMAL WOMEN)
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. (Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of UNWELL WOMEN)
'Insightful, enlightening, practical. I devoured it.' (DEBORAH FRANCES WHITE, host of THE GUILTY FEMINIST)
Femonomics focuses on the struggle among women today to balance their roles as producer and reproducer...There are some striking findings... Her manifesto - to recognise the value of "having it almost" - is empowering.
Bracing...[Low's]forensic focus on time make the book revelatory...rigorous...exhilarating... Femonomics feels like an intervention and a permission slip. It intervenes in a culture that blames women for retreating from marriage and motherhood while refusing to ask why these institutions so reliably erode women's joy. And it gives permission to prioritise their own time, happiness and ambition, even if that means refusing the role they were promised would complete them.
A groundbreaking book. A brilliant, evidence-based roadmap for navigating the unique challenges faces by women. (Eve Rodsky, bestselling author of FAIR PLAY)
Femonomics is a must-read for working women and their allies - evidence-based, grounded in economics, and engaging. Dr. Low provides the empowering guidance you need to optimize a fulfilling life without overcommitting. (Katy Milkman, bestselling author of HOW TO CHANGE)
