Feminist Fight Club: A Survival Manual For a Sexist Workplace

Format: Paperback

Part manual, part manifesto, a humorous yet incisive guide to navigating subtle sexism at work�a pocketbook Lean In for the Buzzfeed generation that provides real-life career advice and humorous reinforcement for a new generation of professional women.


It was a fight club�but without the fighting and without the men. Every month, the women would huddle in a friend�s apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade tips for how best to tackle them. Once upon a time, you might have called them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today�s working world are more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify�and, if Ellen Pao is any indication, harder to prove�than those of their foremothers. These women weren�t just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so the fight club was born.


Hard-hitting and entertaining, Feminist Fight Club blends personal stories with research, statistics, infographics, and no-bullsh*t expert advice. Bennett offers a new vocabulary for the sexist workplace archetypes women encounter everyday�such as the Manterrupter who talks over female colleagues in meetings or the Himitator who appropriates their ideas�and provides practical hacks for navigating other gender landmines in today�s working world. With original illustrations, Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, as well as fascinating historical research and a kit for �How to Start Your Own Club,� Feminist Fight Club tackles both the external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague today�s women�as well as the system that perpetuates them.
