Behavioral Economist, Harvard Professor, Author, and Public Speaker
In 2018 and 2019, Apolitical recognized Bohnet as one of the most influential figures when it comes to gender policy. She has also received several other honors from different institutions, including the University of Lucerne, which awarded her an honorary degree. On authorship matters, her book,
What Works: Gender Equality by Design
, stands out. In this masterpiece, the writer seeks to address the giant in the room, the gender bias experiences in the modern-day workplace.

What Works
was published in 2016 and contains Bohnet's compelling insights on the subject. Those who have read this book appreciate that the author has studied gender inequalities comprehensively and for years. Of course, many governments today present gender inequality as a business and moral principle. Unfortunately, many policies enacted to promote this imperative have not worked as expected. According to the book, the good news is that these inequalities can be addressed effectively once we know to de-bias how we work, learn, and live.

As a speaker, her keynotes have helped various organizations and governments to effectively tackle gender inequality without negatively affecting productivity. What about her family? Well, Iris is a happily married woman with two children to her name.
