It was a fight clubbut without the fighting and without the men. Every month, the women would huddle in a friends apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade tips on how best to tackle them. Once upon a time, you might have called it a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of todays working world are more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identifyand harder to provethan those of our foremothers. These women werent just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so theFeminist Fight Clubwas born.

InFeminist Fight Club, acclaimed journalist Jessica Bennett blends the personal stories of her real-life fight club with research, statistics, and no-bullsh*t advice for how to combat todays sexism (and come out the other side). Part manual, part manifesto, Bennett offers a new vocabulary for the sexist archetypes women encounter every daysuch as the Manterrupter, who talks over female colleagues in meetings; or the Bropropriator, who appropriates their ideasas well as the self-sabotaging behavior women sometimes exhibit themselves.

With original illustrations and fascinating historical research as well as a straightforward assessment of the gender gap that continues to plague the American workforce,Feminist Fight Cluboffers practical strategies, stealthy hacks, and much-needed camaraderie for women battling their way through the modern workplace.
