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. These
stories remain true even for women at the top of their fields; in
the U.S. Supreme Court, for example, female justices are
interrupted four times more often than their male colleagues-and 96
percent of the time by men. 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 provides a startling perspective on the gender bias at
work in our everyday lives and reflected in the world around us,
whether in pop culture, media, school classrooms, or politics. With
precision and insight, Sieghart marshals a wealth of data from a
variety of disciplines-including psychology, sociology, political
science, and business-and talks to pioneering women like Booker
Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo, renowned classicist Mary Beard,
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, and Hillary Clinton.
She speaks with women from a range of backgrounds to explore how
gender bias intersects with race and class biases. Eye-opening and
galvanizing, The Authority Gap teaches us how we as individuals,
partners, parents, and coworkers can together work to narrow the
gap. Sieghart exposes unconscious bias in this fresh feminist take
on how to address and counteract systemic sexism in ways that
benefit us all: men as well as women.
