“Josie Cox reminds us how far we’ve progressed toward equality, and what’s stalling the progress. Every person alive today needs to know and understand the struggles women have had in the workforce for generations.” – Lisa Napoli, author of Susan, Linda, Nina & Cokie

While our laws have caught up to the importance of gender pay equity, our culture and the mindsets of those in power still lag behind. As a journalist at the intersection of business, economics and gender, Josie Cox makes the case that inequality affects us all and is thus everyone’s problem, and not just a burden to women. Through insightful profiles of women who have fought for equal pay, Cox reveals the biases we must overcome on an individual level along with the systemic failings we must address on a societal level in order to bring about a more equitable working world.
