“{Women's lack of progress is} seen as a personal failing.” By Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, cofounder and CEO of MomsRising.org

It was a very nice surprise to open this book and see that it isn't just a how-to manual. Well, I guess in a way it is that but it is sooo much more. It gives you real life stories for examples of problems that can happen in the work place but also things that happen outside of the work place. Then walks you through the steps on how to fix the problem or just finding a way to work in a system that sometimes just doesn’t seem to want us {women} in it. All in all, I liked the book it was very informative and can be a benefit to have really at any point in your life or career. Happy reading everyone… (más)

Women in the workforce has been an ongoing conversation in my friend group lately. Not only has the coronavirus taken hundreds of thousands of American lives, but this pandemic has also highlighted many systemic inequalities that have been bubbling under the surface for way too long. In September alone, more than 850,000 women left the workforce, 4 times as many as men. (Pallavi Gogoi, NPR)

Why do you ask? Working has become almost impossible for many parents during the last 7 months and women are facing the brunt of it...and a large part of this is the gender pay gap. In many households, men make more money even if they hold the same job titles.

"So when couples have to take an economic decision because women typically earn less, they are the ones who take the step back" (Pallavi Gogoi, NPR), and never has this been more clear than during this 2020 pandemic.

Ladies Get Paid could not have come at a better time, as Claire Wasserman takes on how to promote gender equality in the workplace. As the founder of a women's career development organization, Wasserman's writing is clear and approachable and filled with valuable tools on how to broach empowering conversations, negotiating pay, and more. Wasserman's goal is to promote the idea that talking about money and what we are worth is not only important but necessary...and something that many of us still find taboo, and it begins with speaking up.

I found this book to be incredibly informative and inspiring and I love the idea that every small step really is significant for all of us. Thank you to Gallery Books for a gifted copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.… (más)
