"Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's workplace. Distilling over 35 years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women: Prove-It-Again!, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of War. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies--which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers." --Publisher information.

A companion to the highly successful What Works for Women at Work, this workbook offers women a hands-on guide filled with interactive exercises, self-diagnostic quizzes, and action-oriented strategies for building successful careers. The Workbook helps women understand their work environments and experiences and move up the professional ladder. Readers will discover the four patterns of gender bias--Prove-It-Again, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of War--and they can use the toolkit to learn how to navigate the ways these patterns affect their careers. Williams and her co-authors also introduce the new concept of "Gender Judo," which involves doing a masculine thing in a feminine way, in order to avoid a backlash.

Going beyond the experiences of one man, this book explores the wider political, cultural and class context of the Victorian city. It is an honest tale of rags to riches that will appeal to all who wish to discover more about the dramatic history of industrial Manchester and its people.

Joan Williams takes a hard look at the state of feminism in America. She outlines a new vision of feminism that calls for workplaces focused on the needs of families and, in divorce cases, recognition of the value of family work and its impact on women's earning power. schovat popis

Academic freedom is increasingly being threatened by a stifling culture of conformity in higher education that is restricting individual academics, the freedom of academic thought and the progress of knowledge - the very foundations upon which academia and universities are built.

Politics, academia & corporations now bow to the new orthodoxies around gender, race & identity. How Woke Won explores woke's intellectual roots and how, what poses as radical-left, is embraced by the privileged. In this powerful critique Joanna argues that those interested in a free, egalitarian & democratic society must tackle wokeness head-on.

Contemporary feminism is critiqued for perpetuating a narrative of oppression despite the significant advancements women have made in education and career opportunities. The book argues that modern feminist discourse often fixates on minor issues, such as body image and language, while failing to promote genuine female empowerment. It suggests that this focus on regulating male behavior fosters division between the sexes, ultimately hindering progress. The author advocates for a reevaluation of feminism to better support women's liberation and unity.

Akademické svobody jsou stále více ohrožovány dusivou kulturou konformity ve vysokoškolském vzdělávání, která omezuje akademické pracovníky, svobodu akademického myšlení i rozvoj znalostí, tedy samotné základy, na nichž jsou vědecké i univerzitní instituce postaveny. Kdysi učenci požadovali akademické svobody, aby mohli kritizovat existující znalosti a hledat nové pravdy. I když dnes tradiční záliba v rétorice akademických svobod přetrvává, studenti i učitelé ji kritizují jako zastaralý a elitářský koncept a zpochybňuje ji i řada politických a intelektuálních směrů, jako je feminismus, kritická teorie a politika identity. Tato provokativní kniha sleduje zánik akademických svobod v kontextu měnících se představ o účelu univerzity a povaze vědění. Autorka tvrdí, že zpochybnění této kultury konformity a cenzury a obrana akademické svobody projevu jsou zapotřebí, aby byla umožněna kritika a aby intelektuální projekt hodnocení existujících znalostí a navrhování znalostí nových byl smysluplný. Tato kniha je výzvou a voláním do zbraně za sílu akademického myšlení.
