      By Butler, Halle
       2019., Penguin Books Call No: Fic But    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Thirty-year-old Millie just can't pull it together. Misanthropic and morose, she spends her days killing time at a thankless temp job until she can return home to her empty apartment, where she oscillates wildly between self-recrimination and mild delusion, fixating on all the little ways she might change her life. Then she watches TV until she drops off to sleep, and the cycle begins again. When the possibility of a full-time job offer arises, it seems to bring the better life she's envisioning, one that involves nicer clothes, fresh produce, maybe even financial independence, within reach. But with it also comes the paralyzing realization, lurking just beneath the surface, of just how hollow that vision has become.

      By Pao, Ellen K
       2017., General, Spiegel & Grau Call No: Bio P211r    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "In 2015, Ellen K. Pao sued a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, calling out workplace discrimination and retaliation against women and other underrepresented groups. Her suit exposed the tech world's toxic culture and its homogeneity. Her message overcame negative PR attacks that took aim at her professional conduct and her personal life, and she won widespread public support. Though Pao lost her suit, she revolutionized the conversation at tech offices, in the media, and around the world. The daughter of immigrants, Pao was taught that through hard work she could achieve her dreams. She earned multiple Ivy League degrees, worked at top startups, and in 2005 was recruited by Kleiner Perkins, arguably the world's leading venture capital firm at the time. In many ways, she did everything right, and yet she and other women and people of color were excluded from success - cut out of decisive meetings and email discussions, uninvited to CEO dinners and lavish networking trips, and had their work undercut or appropriated by male executives. It was time for a system reset. After Kleiner, Pao became CEO of reddit, where she took forceful action to change the status quo for the company and its product. She banned revenge porn and unauthorized nude photos - an action other large media sites later followed - and shut down parts of reddit over online harassment. Pao shines a light on troubling issues that plague today's workplace and lays out practical, inspiring, and achievable goals for a better future. The story of a whistleblower who aims to empower everyone struggling to be heard, in Silicon Valley and beyond. Ellen Pao graduated from Princeton University with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. She then attended Harvard Law School, where she earned a Juris Doctor. After two years of working, Pao returned to attend Harvard Business School, where she received an MBA"--Provided by publisher.

      -- That is what she said :
      By Lipman, Joanne
       [2018]., General, William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Call No: 305.3 L764t   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: A recent Harvard study found that corporate "diversity training" has actually made the gender gap worse - in part because it makes men feel demonized. Women, meanwhile, have been told closing the gender gap is up to them: they need to speak up, to be more confident, to demand to be paid what they're worth. They discuss these issues amongst themselves all the time. What they don't do is talk to men about it. It's time to end that disconnect. More people in leadership roles are genuinely trying to transform the way we work together, because there's abundant evidence that companies with more women in senior leadership perform better by virtually every measure. Yet despite good intentions, men often lack the tools they need, leading to fumbles, missteps, frustration and misunderstanding that continue to inflict real and lasting damage on women's careers. Filled with illuminating anecdotes, data from the most recent studies, and stories from Joanne Lipman's own journey to the top of a male-dominated industry, this book shows how we can win by reaching across the gender divide. What can the Enron scandal teach us about the way men and women communicate professionally? How does brain chemistry help explain men's fear of women's emotions at work? Why did Kimberly Clark have an all-male team of executives in charge of their Kotex tampon line? What can we learn from Iceland's campaign to "feminize" an entire nation? Why empowering women as true equals is an essential goal for women and men, and offers a roadmap for getting there.
