Digital Suffragists by ISBN: 9780262366496Publication Date: 2021Why women's voices are outnumbered online and what we can do about it, by a New York Times comment moderator. If you've read the comments posted by readers of online news sites, you may have noticed the absence of women's voices. The suffragists of the early twentieth century were jailed for trying to vote. Can a twenty-first-century democracy be functional when half of the population is not fully represented in a primary form of political communication? Tessier outlines benchmarks for a more democratic media, all of which stem from one fundamental idea: media must adopt gender and racial representation as key performance indicators. Equal speaking time for women is a measure of democracy.
Her Space, Her Time by ISBN: 9780262048316Publication Date: 2023Women physicists and astronomers from around the world have transformed science and society, but the critical roles they played in their fields are not always well-sung. Her Space, Her Time is a collective story of scientific innovation, inspirational leadership, and overcoming invisibility that will leave a lasting impression on any reader curious about the rule-breakers and trendsetters who illuminated our understanding of the universe.
Building a new leadership ladder : transforming male-dominated organizations to support women on the rise by ISBN: 9780262371551Publication Date: 2023Strategies for transforming workplace cultures to support a new generation of women leaders.
When it comes to the gender gap, it is not enough to ask women to “lean in” and demand promotions and raises. Organizations have an obligation to level up and provide women with more opportunities for advancement. More than a how-to guide on how women can ascend to the top, Building a New Leadership Ladder is a bold call to action for organizations and their leaders to proactively foster the conditions under which women's efforts to rise up are consistently recognized and rewarded.
