A groundbreaking, insightful book about women and power from
award-winning journalist Lauren McKeon, which shows how women are
disrupting the standard (very male) vision of power, ditching
convention, and building a more equitable world for everyone. In
the age of girl bosses, Beyonce, and Black Widow, we like to tell
our little girls they can be anything they want when they grow up,
except they'll have to work twice as hard, be told to "play nice,"
and face countless double standards that curb their personal,
political, and economic power. Women today remain a surprisingly,
depressingly long way from gender and racial equality. It's worth
asking: Why do we keep playing a game we were never meant to win?
Award-winning journalist and author of F-Bomb: Dispatches from the
War on Feminism, Lauren McKeon examines the many ways in which our
institutions are designed to keep women and other marginalized
genders at a disadvantage. In doing so, she reveals why we need
more than parity, visible diversity, and lone female CEOs to change
this power game. She talks to people doing power differently in a
variety of sectors and uncovers new models of power. And as the
toxic, divisive, and hyper-masculine style of leadership gains
ground, she underscores why it's time to stop playing by the rules
of a rigged game.
