Feminist Fight Club - Jessica Bennett
What’s in it
The book aims to give you short and snappy 'fight moves' and 'hacks' to battle sexism in the workplace. For you. For others. And yes, if any men are reading this, for you feminist men as well.
Now, for anyone who has read as many feminist books as I have, the tips in this book are not new.
What IS new though is the bitesize way the different topics (and the fight moves) are presented. With funny cartoons (I'm a big fan of cartoons), actionable quick tricks, and clearly articulated ways of:
Identifying your enemy
Recognising the 'traps' you can fall into in a sexist workplace
Communicating in an impactful way
Getting paid better, and
Picking and choosing the tactics that work for men (without becoming one) - or, in other words, What Would Josh (a distinctly average white male) Do.
Why I like it
This book came highly recommended. By Sheryl Sandberg herself no less. Who actually contributed to it.
It’s a great book. Not new, but presented in a way that was easy to read, had fantastic cartoons and actionable - well - actions!
