Today, long after the rise of girl power in the 90s, the failed promise of a female president, and the ubiquity of feminist-branded everything, women are still a surprisingly, depressingly long way from gender and racial equality. It's worth asking: Why do we keep trying to win a game we were never meant to play in the first place? Award-winning journalist and author Lauren McKeon examines the varied ways in which our institutions are designed to keep women and other marginalized genders at a disadvantage and shows us why we need more than parity, visible diversity, and lone female CEOs to change this power game. She uncovers new models of power -- ones the patriarchy doesn't get to define -- by talking to lawyers insisting on gender-neutral change rooms in courthouses, programmers creating apps to track the breakdown of men and women being quoted in the news media, educators illustrating tampon packaging with pictures of black bodies, mixed martial artists teaching young girls self-empowerment, entrepreneurs prioritizing trauma-informed office cultures, and many other women doing power differently. As the toxic, divisive, and hyper-masculine style of leadership gains ground, threatening democracy here and abroad, McKeon underscores why it's time to stop playing by the rules of a rigged game. No More Nice Girls charts a hopeful and potent path forward for how to disrupt the standard (very male) vision of power, ditch convention, and build a more equitable world for everyone."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women's rights. 650 0 $a Equality. 650 0 $a Feminism. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) 650 0 $a Social control. 776 08 $i Online version: $a McKeon, Lauren. $t No more nice girls. $d Toronto : Walrus Books, 2020 $z 9781487006457 $z 9781487006457 $w (OCoLC)1112735984 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200807010113.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200701010424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=239C73ECBB6011EA94CB452497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
