Is it time to ditch the power suit?

When it comes to work, ‘acting like a man’ has long been seen as the secret to smashing it and getting ahead. So, what do we do, we put on our shoulder-padded, power suit, under a blouse button and get stuck in? For a long time, women (and some men) know that this is wrong, but have been reluctant to fight it, wanting to show that we can have it all too. Is it now time for change?
