You thought you understood how the patriarchy runs our country. It's so much worse than you think.When the 'Garrick club, list of members' is leaked to Amelia Gentleman, it offers her a concise guide to Britain's male establishment: here high court judges dine with newspaper editors, senior politicians with economists, secret service chiefs with bankers. Sparking an investigation into how this male elite operates behind closed doors, Gentleman reveals why the City skyline has nothing built by a female-led firm, why women are absent from new sectors like crypto and why you'll find more men named James than women at national security away days.How do they still get away with it? The Club wryly dissects the behaviours of those who believe they're born to rule and carefully unravels the slow-to-shift roles that men and women play in the workplace and the home. The result is bleakly hilarious, eye-opening and infuriating in equal measures.
