Even with more women in the workforce than in decades past, wage gaps continue to increase. It is the most educated women who have fallen the furthest behind. Blue-collar women hold the most insecure and badly paid jobs in our economy. And even as we celebrate high-profile representation-women on the board of Fortune 500 companies and our first female vice president-women have limited recourse when they experience harassment and discrimination. Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy explains that the system that governs our economy-a winner-take-all economy-is the root cause of these myriad problems. The WTA economy self-selects for aggressive, cutthroat business tactics, which creates a feedback loop that sidelines women. The authors, three legal scholars, call this feedback loop "the triple bind": if women don't compete on the same terms as men, they lose; if women do compete on the same terms as men, they're punished more harshly for their sharp elbows or actual misdeeds; and when women see that they can't win on the same terms as men, they take themselves out of the game (if they haven't been pushed out already). With odds like these stacked against them, it's no wonder women feel like, no matter how hard they work, they can't get ahead. Fair Shake is not a "fix the woman" book; it's a "fix the system" book. It not only diagnoses the problem of what's wrong with the modern economy, but shows how, with awareness and collective action, we can build a truly just economy for all"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination in employment $z United States. 650 0 $a Women $x Employment $z United States. 650 0 $a Equal pay for equal work $z United States. 700 1 $a Carbone, June, $e author. 700 1 $a Levit, Nancy, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025720.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DED3EB5E27B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
