Summary:
Part manual, component manifesto, a humorous yet incisive guidebook to navigating subtle sexism at work-a pocketbook Trim In for the Buzzfeed generation that provides real-life career information and humorous support for a new era of professional females.
It was a fight club-but without the fighting and without the men. Every month, the women would huddle within a friend’s apartment to talk about sexist job frustrations and trade suggestions for how best to deal with them. A long time ago, you might have called about Feminist Battle Club: An Office Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today’s working world are even more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify-and harder to prove-than those of their foremothers. These females weren’t just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so the fight club was born.
Hard-hitting and interesting, Feminist Fight Golf club blends personal stories with research, figures, and no-bullsh*t expert advice. Bennett offers a fresh vocabulary for the sexist office archetypes ladies encounter everyday-such as the Manterrupter who talks over female colleagues in meetings or the Himitator who appropriates their ideas-and provides practical hacks for navigating additional gender landmines in the current working world. With Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, and interesting historical study, Feminist Fight Golf club tackles both external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague ladies in the workplace-as well as the system that perpetuates them.
