For years, these meetings were kept secret. But the time has come to talk about the club.
In Feminist Fight Club, acclaimed journalist Jessica Bennett blends the personal story of her real-life fight club with a studied assessment of the gender gap that continues to plague the American workplace.
With equal measures of wit, and rigor, Bennett provides the tactical strategies—and the camaraderie—every woman needs to fight back, as well as tools for the men who support the cause.

The book is packed with practical strategies to combat sexism. Bennett provides actionable tips and advice that you can use in your daily life. From dealing with mansplaining to tackling the wage gap, you'll find a wealth of information to help you navigate the professional world.
Feminist Fight Club is all about empowering women in the workplace. It's a call to arms for women to stand up for their rights and to fight against gender inequality. If you're feeling undervalued or overlooked at work, this book will give you the tools you need to make a change.
