แแ แแฃแแแแฌแแแแแก แจแแกแแฎแแ
Thoughts, advice, and stories from 40 successful women across a variety of careersโfrom authors to actresses, CEOs and professorsโencouraging women to support each other in the workplace and in lifeโalong with action plans on how all women can work together to break free from the binds of gender inequality and overcome gender bias.
Women worldwide are breaking their silenceโcoming forward against the men that have oppressed and abused them in the #MeToo movement. Itโs an exciting, liberating time for female empowermentโbut now we have to relearn how women can support women.
Instead of supporting each other through the challenges of a traditionally male-dominated working world, millions of women have experienced the polar opposite. Studies show that 30% of workplace bullies are femaleโemploying tactics such as cyber bullying, verbal attacks, gossiping, and shunning to use against each otherโand many women have garnered โmean girlโ reputations as competitive and unsupportive in the workplace. Learning to deal with mean women at work and diffuse this kind of negative power takes courage and strategy based on understanding the motives behind the behavior.
Inside the galvanizing In This Together, 40 successful women from a wide range of fields show us how women claim their power and how much we can achieve if we embrace our collective strength, instead of competing against each other. We can learn new skills to advance in our careers and ultimately earn more money; we can work to dramatically increase the number of women in leadership positions, and even recruit men as allies to take up workplace equality as their own impassioned cause.
Empowering, stirring, and actionable, In This Together is an indispensable addition to every womanโs arsenal in our continued fight for the opportunities we deserve.
