Welcome to Litsy!

Love this book. It‘s an easy and quick read, and should absolutely be a must read for young women. I learned and laughed through it, and my favourite quote from the whole book is «Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man.»

loved reading this how to book about how to combat daily and overarching sexism in the workplace

Bennett takes on the gender issues, difficult situations, and harassment women can face at work and offers both practical solutions and solidarity.

Read September 12-16
Book 48/55

Some excellent tips for general use in the workplace even if yours is decidedly un-sexist. It‘s also very funny

OVARIES OVER BROVARIES: this book is 21% more expensive for men.

Let‘s go!

A quick read/listen, this book is both a helpful tool for making your way through a sexist workplace and a reminder to stand up for yourself AND support other women. Good humored, useful, and practical. I‘m glad I listened to it—it boosted my mood for sure.

And this is my sisters other kitty, Stan the Man Musial. He is checking out this book on surviving sexist office environments. He thinks there should be kitties in every office to cut down on stress. #catsoflitsy

There was so much packed into this book and it was all very interesting and useful. I definitely feel like I will carry a lot of the ideas of this book with me and try to work on areas the author discussed. Some of it was a little over the top for my taste, but I learned a lot from this book and enjoyed it.

While I think this was a well intentioned book that had some really good insights, much of it read as a self help book for privileged white feminists. Tons of research to back up everything though. But still a lot of points in this book can only benefit women in higher work positions.

Perfectly timed book for me. I found this to have great advice on handling difficult working relationships. I needed a "you are stronger than you think" audiobook right now. It delivered.

LOVED the situations and advice from this book. Also just keeping things real. V practical - also this recently happened to me and I so wish I had done this instead of simply scowl dramatically

Couldn't resist... who has read it/is reading it?

Really good but definitely listen with your earbuds!

Quick and fun read, even if much of it felt like stuff I've already read elsewhere. Plus, worth it for the archetypical office white dude, Josh.

How do you feel about anti feminist writings? I'm reading a book right now that is not intended to be that but is given the cultural reference it comes from. The book is making me incredibly frustrated and angry. Any ideas on ways to get through it without bailing?

Had to bail on this,it just wasn't for me. It felt like it was talking about specific roles in a specific type of workplace and was aimed at more ambitious people aiming to impress in high flying business meetings, which really isn't something I can relate to. The "woo! Sisterhood!" tone wasn't my cup of tea either.

Continuing the #NastyWomen reading theme

Bit of a weird read being currently employed only as a mom but full of great tips for a variety of situations in an office environment. I didn't super love the slangy, bantery presentation of the material as it limits the audience who will take it seriously. The list of feminist groups at the end was fascinating! #mommyreads #ebook #nonfiction #business

This has been on my TBR for a while now, and it's only $1.99 today!📚🤓

Feeling very conflicted about this book. It was fun in many ways, like with this list of #feminist cocktails...but I also felt like it could have been a bit more nuanced in some parts. It focuses a lot on overtly "masculine" situations or jobs and I felt as it is neglected talking about other workplace dynamics and professions that may be female dominated or oriented and how that element can influence women at work. Ok, just not brilliant.

Started to hightlight...kept going...highlighted nearly the entire page. Will likely highlight entire book. #yasqueen #EatItPatriarchy #feminism #booklove 🤓💕🤓

The Kindle ebook is on sale today. I thought there might be some Littens who would be interested in this one.

The ebook is on sale today (but only through Amazon) for $1.99

I've been looking at this one, and was going to the library to pick it up today, but as it's on sale, reader, I bought it. Still going to the library, because reasons. 😉

If you have never picked up a pick about sexism in the workplace and how to conquer it, this book would be your perfect first read. For everyone that has already worked their way through feminist nonfiction this book is not going to be life changing. I think it's organized really nicely and informal language and to the point graphs are being employed. I also liked that the author consistently pointed out the added hurdles for women of color.

Nuff said....

I found this to be true... I was told in anonymous reviews that I lacked empathy... but only by a fraction of my team. I decided to follow my path and due to other factors some team dynamics changed and this topic went away all by itself.

Starting this one today.

There seems to be a theme with my reading lately ... #feminist #freebie #riotgram #bookstagram @bookriot

Has anyone read #feministfightclub? I read I'm judging you recently and this came up as recommended so I thought I would give it a go... would love to hear what you thought! #books #imjudgingyou #feminist

"Women in this country must become revolutionaries." - Shirley Chisholm I thought I would be using my Madam President journal to write that we finally had a woman President. Instead, I will fill it with books written by amazing women. ??????

#TBRtemptation post! I immediately thought of you @BookishFeminist and the @LitsyFeministBookClub when I saw this ☺️! If you don't have this one on your TBR stack already, it seems like a great new release 😁👍🏻. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

"Women in this country must become revolutionaries" hell yes.

I LOVE THIS BOOK

thanks feminist fight club for getting me to my goal of 100 books this year! now bring on 2017 x

I enjoyed this! Although I'm not a "career" person and don't work in an office currently, the sexism pointed out in the book is (obviously) around us always. I liked the illustrations and the puns. Skims the surface of race and trans* issues and is focused on white collar jobs, so a bit of white affluence privilege throughout. ??????1/2

Not much new in here for the seasoned feminist but it's a timely call to action in the face of increasing misogyny in the media and politics. The first rule of Feminist Fight Club? We DO f*cking talk about it!

Hey, ho, let's go. 🤘

Great on audio. Wonderful tips on everything from supporting each other to negotiating a raise

#bookhaul #3, this time from Joseph-Beth. (Lots of Mary Oliver today...) I also picked up some new titles by favorite authors. #overthis #selfcaresaturday #diversebooks #blacklivesmatter #feminist #LGTBQ

#personalprogress I was able to read this without bursting into tears. #overit #feminist #readfeministbooks

I love the real world examples used to illustrate the points made. Also, am I the only one holding her breath for Michelle to run in 2020?

I chose to start this while I try to sleep after a rough day. My mourning period is not over, but the wallowing is. #continuefighting #imwithyou #notover #feministfightclub

Devastated doesn't even begin to cover it. But I felt inspired by @LauraBeth and her comment about getting involved--if this election has taught me anything, it's that nothing can be taken for granted. We need to shape our world into the one we want it to be. I signed up for a mentorship program for girls at under-resourced schools because I refuse to live in a world where girls think they have limits. Let's show the world what we can do.
