Taking On the Big Boys (ePub)

“Please, please, please. All working women must read this book! Ellen Bravo not only vividly exposes workplace inequities, she gives real-life solutions, picking up where my film 9 to 5 left off.” —Jane Fonda, activist and actor
 
“Taking on the Big Boys is not only an enormously valuable resource for anyone wanting to contribute to a better world, but a powerful and much-needed shot at combating the demonization of the F-word. This is a book to take into battle.” —Bitch Magazine
 
“A witty, statistically supported, and readable book that provides a strong message sure to foster ideas and generate debate. Summing Up: Highly recommended.” —Choice
 
“Taking on the Big Boys is feminism at its butt-kicking best—an exposé, a manifesto, and a spirited, delightful read. I thought I knew a lot about women’s economic status before I read this book, but I had barely scratched the surface. Bravo for Bravo!” —Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed
 
“Smart, kind, funny, and very effective, [Bravo] has put her lifetime of organizing skills into Taking on the Big Boys.” —Gloria Steinem, author of My Life on the Road
 
“Bravo enlightens the reader in a no-nonsense way on deep-seated workplace attitudes and practices that hinder women’s progress on the pay front. More importantly she shows us how public policy is influenced through a variety of tactics used by opponents.” —Martha Burk, cofounder of the Center for Advancement of Public Policy
 
“Taking on the Big Boys shines a bright light on the pervasive bias against mothers who work along with the high price we all have to pay for failing to support parent’s dual responsibilities. Happily fixing the problem is not only the right thing to do but good for everyone.” —Joan
