Description
A pocketbook Lean In for the Buzzfeed generation, it was a fight club—but without the fighting and without the men. Every month, the women would meet up in a friend’s apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade tips for how best to tackle them. Once upon a time, you might have called them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today’s working world are more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify—and, if Ellen Pao is any indication, harder to prove—than those of their foremothers. These women weren’t just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so the fight club was born. Mixing personal stories with research, statistics, and an infographic or two, Feminist Fight Club blends no-bullsh*t
