Recommendation
Workplace sexism has become harder to identify, yet it remains a daily factor. It can take the form of a man assuming his female colleague will take the notes in a meeting, or a co-worker insinuating that you’re a corporate liability because you have children or might have children in the future. Sexism holds women back as they launch and pursue their careers. Journalist Jessica Bennett shares valuable lessons she and her colleagues learned as women navigating the workplace, whether they were in the male-dominated offices at Newsweek or standing by the ping-pong table at Tumblr. Bennett’s irreverently funny manual will empower any woman who’s wondered why her male counterparts are moving up more quickly than she is. getAbstract recommends Bennett’s study as a required set of instructions for shattering the glass ceiling.

Comment on this summary

4 years agoThe author is clearly fixated on his topic should be easier to accept life in all its manifestations. The desire of the author to fit all the same under the same nonsense absurdity. Although I do not encourage everyone to agree with my opinion because so many people have so many opinions
-
4 years agoThe "Overcoming Self Sabotage" section is a must-read! I saw myself in a lot of those points.
