Meet 10 black and Asian British women who apply a unique combination of determination, resilience and a sense of purpose to resist the limitations of the white male-dominated world they live and work in.

This book highlights how these women use the equation to defeat adversity and achieve success in their own way. Undeterred is essential reading for black and Asian women who want to achieve more in their personal and professional lives and for the allies who support them.
