Chapter Chapter 1 in Breaking Free from the Chains of Role Ascriptions, 2024, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The common role attributions can only take hold as they still do because women do not use their own power enough. Often they lack self-esteem, they feel weak and powerless—and send corresponding signals of submission. Those who have their own power, on the other hand, signal authority and this ensures equality. The power issue becomes a topic in every relationship at some point: between partners, on the job between boss and employees, among colleagues, between parents and children, between friends, within women’s networks, and between mother and daughter.
