I am about to start some research that goes beyond the statistics of how many women are underpaid and how few are in senior posts in all aspects of our world in the UK. I too am exasperated by eye rolls, everyday sexism, and the pervasive negative attitudes to gender discrimination. My joy when WEP was founded lifted me then and does still now. For the first time for a very long time I am hopefully our WPE objectives will have impact and create change.
