Feminist Fight Club by Jessica Bennett

30.9.16


Described as "engaging, hilarious and practical" by Sheryl Sandberg, Jessica Bennett's new book, Feminist Fight Club is an essential and witty read for all women in the workplace.

Feminist Fight Club blends the personal stories of a group of women who formed a secret group in New York City with research, statistics, and no-bullsh*t advice for how to combat today’s sexism. Bennett offers a new vocabulary for the sexist archetypes women encounter everyday—such as the Manterrupter, who talks over female colleagues in meetings or the Bropropriator, who appropriates their ideas—and provides practical hacks for pushing back. With original illustrations, Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, and fascinating historical research – including a glossary of OG Feminist Fight Clubs – Feminist Fight Club tackles both the external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague women in the workplace—as well as the system that perpetuates them.

The super cool Jessica Bennett
Bennett is an influential voice in today's conversation about workplace equality and social issues. With experience of working at Newsweek, Tumblr and Sandberg's Lean In Foundation, Bennett is a modern day advocate for women and the issues we all experience in the world of work.

This is an essential read, and particularly great for those days that haven't gone so well at the office. Find out more about the book and the movement here.
