Book, 2021
Current format, Book, 2021, , Available .An incisive, intersectional look at the mother of all gender biases: a resistance to women's authority and power. Every woman has a story of being underestimated, ignored, challenged, or patronized in the workplace. Maybe she tried to speak up in a meeting, only to be talked over by male colleagues. Or a client addressed her male subordinate instead of her. Despite the progress we've made toward equality, we still fail, more often than we might realize, to take women as seriously as men. In The Authority Gap, journalist Mary Ann Sieghart examines the wide-ranging implications of this critical gender bias. She explores its intersections with race and class biases and the measures we can take to bridge the gap. With precision and insight, she marshals a wealth of data from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, sociology, politics, and business, and interviews pioneering women like Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo and Janet Yellen. Includes interviews with pioneering women such as: Baroness Hale, Mary Beard, Bernadine Evaristo, Mary McAleese, Julia Gillard, Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes, Cherie Blair, Liz Truss, Amber Rudd, Frances Morris, Laura Bates.
