Description

Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever explore how women can and should negotiate for parity in their workplaces, homes, and beyond. Drawing on psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior, they examine the institutions, child-rearing practices, and implicit assumptions that discourage women from asking for opportunities and resources. Their research reveals how these factors perpetuate inequalities that are fundamentally unfair and economically unsound. The authors also provide practical guidance on how women can ask for what they deserve, helping to address a persistent imbalance in negotiation and opportunity. This insightful book offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by women in various contexts, and provides valuable advice for those seeking to create more equitable outcomes.
