Title: Double blind: Double Standards for women
Review: Beyond the Double Bind presents five "double standards" that women are subjected to and are bound by society. Women are expected to follow society's rules where there is often times a lose-lose or catch-22 scenario. The five binds discusses the following patterns: (1) womb versus brain, (2) silence versus shame, (3) sameness versus difference, (4) femininity versus competence and (5) aging versus invisibility.This book highlights many of these barriers have dwindled away over time. Any woman who wants to be a leader needs to begin by understanding what these binds are and how to confront them. As Jamieson says, "the double bind is a strategy perennially used by those with power against those without." Whether you call a bind a "double standard," "a no-win situation," or a "self-fulfilling prophecy," understanding the "binds that tie," can help any woman better position herself for success.
