Denne banebrydende bog undersøger, hvordan kvinder kan og bør forhandle for ligestilling på arbejdspladsen og hjemme. Gennem interviews og tværfaglig forskning viser “Women Don’t Ask”, hvordan sociale normer og antagelser hindrer kvinder i at bede om de muligheder, de har fortjent, og opfordrer dem til at tage initiativet.

Hele abstrakt på originalsprog:
The groundbreaking classic that explores how women can and should negotiate for parity in their workplaces, homes, and beyondWhen Linda Babcock wanted to know why male graduate students were teaching their own courses while female students were always assigned as assistants, her dean said: “More men ask. The women just don’t ask.” Drawing on psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior as well as dozens of interviews with men and women in different fields and at all stages in their careers, Women Don’t Ask explores how our institutions, child-rearing practices, and implicit assumptions discourage women from asking for the opportunities and resources that they have earned and deserve-perpetuating inequalities that are fundamentally unfair and economically unsound. Women Don’t Ask tells women how to ask, and why they should.
