Summary:
"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."--Publisher.
