Feminist Fight Club: An Office Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Part manual, component manifesto, a humorous yet incisive guide to navigating subtle sexism at work-a pocketbook Slim Set for the Buzzfeed era that delivers real-life career assistance and humorous encouragement for a new era of professional ladies.

It had been a fight club-but without the fighting with each other and without the men. Every month, the ladies would huddle in a friend’s apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade methods for how best to tackle them. A long time ago, it’s likely you have called about Feminist Combat Club: An Office Survival Manual for any Sexist Office them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today’s functioning world are even more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify-and harder to prove-than those of their foremothers. These women weren’t simply there to vent. They needed battle tactics. So the fight club was created.

Hard-hitting and engaging, Feminist Fight Club blends personal tales with research, statistics, and no-bullsh*t professional advice. Bennett presents a fresh vocabulary for the sexist workplace archetypes women encounter everyday-such as the Manterrupter who talks over female colleagues in meetings or the Himitator who appropriates their ideas-and provides useful hacks for navigating additional gender landmines in today’s working world. With Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, and exciting historical research, Feminist Fight Club tackles both exterior (sexist) and inner (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague women in the workplace-as well as the system that perpetuates them.
