At the heart of being human is the desire to belong. It can make us unspeakably vulnerable to the manipulations of others. Cult leaders prey on this desire, but so do many unscrupulous operators hiding in plain sight. Sarah Steel, the creator of the popular 'Let's Talk About Sects' podcast, has researched the cults you've heard of—and dozens you haven't. What strikes her most are not the differences between bizarre cult behaviour and 'normal' behaviour but the depressing similarities. Her work reveals that we are all susceptible to the power of cult dynamics.

Women of color comprise one of the fastest-growing segments in the corporate workforce, yet often we are underrepresented—among the first, few, or only ones in a department or company. For too long, corporate structures, social zeitgeist, and cultural conditioning have left us feeling exhausted and downtrodden, believing that in order to “fit in” and be successful, we must hide or change who we are.

In the year 2018, it seems as if women’s anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before this, women’s anger was not only politically catalytic - but politically problematic. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel - from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of resulting repercussions.

In Asking for It, Kate Harding answers those questions in the same blunt, no-nonsense voice that has made her a powerhouse feminist blogger.

Publisher's summary
When Gretchen Carlson made the decision to "walk off the set" and speak up about sexual harassment in the workplace, she jumped off a cliff by herself, but it led to a new calling: empowering women to reclaim their power against any injustice.
After the former Miss America, mother of two, and star news anchor stood up and spoke out, women all over the world joined the movement and began to take back their lives, careers, and dignity. Gretchen became the voice for the voiceless. Be Fierce shares Gretchen's experience and powerful stories from the thousands of women who have reached out to her who refuse to submit to intimidation of any kind. Gretchen will also share the wisdom and research of lawyers, psychologists, and other experts helping to confront this problem and advance what has become an international conversation about women refusing to shut up and sit down.

Women have been told that being pretty comes at the expense of being taken seriously. If a woman is physically attractive, there is often a presumption that she lacks the substance and smarts necessary to provide leadership. This narrative implies that being pretty and being capable are mutually exclusive. But in Pretty Powerful, Fox News political commentator and legal analyst Eboni Williams rejects that narrative. She says that to accept the false notion that beauty and power are mutually exclusive is to leave an incredibly powerful tool on the table.

Story
A woman of contradictions, "a gun-toting, lesbian, feminist, voted-for-Reagan activist", Tammy Bruce is standing in line to become the next Ann Coulter. The "left wing" is engaged in an enormous conspiracy to make moral values relative, to undercut pride and patriotism in our country, to destroy Christian ideology at any cost, to pollute the minds of our youth by means of leftist professors who rewrite history, and to hijack the justice system through morally bankrupt trial lawyers.

Story
In the year 2018, it seems as if women’s anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before this, women’s anger was not only politically catalytic - but politically problematic. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel - from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of resulting repercussions.

In this provocative new book, psychologist and social commentator Dr. Jean Twenge documents the self-focus of what she calls "Generation Me" - people born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

A very educational book
This book served to provide me the perspective that women have to navigate everyday at work. One hears stories of predators and rapists and considers these extreme outliers but I had never considered that every woman has to navigate things I have never had to about as a man in the workplace. This was a sobering lesson about things I had never stopped to think about deeply enough. I would recommend this book to everyone but most importantly to all men. The issues discussed here are more a men’s issue than a women’s issue. We all have a role to play.

A Must Read
Thank you for writing this Gretchen. I have not been a victim of harassment or assault and your book makes me see why this is true. I now realize there have been multiple attempts by colleagues/patients/managers to initiate this type of behavior and I just shut it down. I was never aware of this behavior trait in myself until now. I feel a need to help others be as courageous and bold to stand up for themselves. Thank you for sharing your education on this subject. I am so impressed with the diligence you needed to make your company and the world listen to you about this issue.

Greatly Needed Life Wisdom
Gretchen not only is a great example to our daughters about being fierce, she's thrived in doing so herself. As a father of 3 wonderful daughters I'm thankful for her willingness to open her life up and share her private life in such a personal way. Note to Gretchen: "Be not weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap if you don't give up." Galatians 6:9. Keep up the movement!!

A must read for all parents!
Beautifully written and read. I admire the way you share your Christian faith and the courage you had to take this on. You are humble and authentic. One suggestion I would add to the book since I am the same age as you is the awful campaign by former President Clinton and former candidate Hillary Clinton lodged against all women accusers and especially Paula and Monica. For me as a young lawyer at that time, this was a shocking revelation from the highest office in the land that we must protect young women and all women in the workplace. I realize you could fill a library with books on the powerful political men who have misused their office or title. Thank you for your work in nonprofits and all you do to continue this movement.
