Part manual, part manifesto, Feminist Fight Club is a hilarious yet incisive guide to navigating subtle sexism at work, providing real-life career advice and humorous reinforcement for a new generation of professional women.

It was a fight club--but without the fighting and without the men. Every month, the women would huddle in a friend's apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade tips for how best to tackle them. Once upon a time, you might have called them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today's working world are more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify--and harder to prove--than those of their foremothers. These women weren't just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so the fight club was born.

Hard-hitting and entertaining, Feminist Fight Club blends personal stories with research, statistics, and no-bullsh*t expert advice. Bennett offers a new vocabulary for the sexist workplace archetypes women encounter everyday--such as the Manterrupter who talks over female colleagues in meetings or the Himitator who appropriates their ideas--and provides practical hacks for navigating other gender landmines in today's working world. With original illustrations, Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, and fascinating historical research, Feminist Fight Club tackles both the external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague women in the workplace--as well as the system that perpetuates them.

This book is an arsenal for surviving the modern workplace:

Workplace Battle Tactics: Learn how to shut down the Manterrupter, deal with the Himitator, and handle a whole host of other sexist archetypes with witty, practical comebacks.
Overcoming Self-Sabotage: Tackle the internal behaviors that hold you back, from imposter syndrome to the pressure for 'effortless perfection.'
Humor and Hard Data: A hard-hitting and hilarious blend of personal stories, fascinating research, and no-bullsh*t statistics that prove it's not just you.
A Career Cheat Sheet: Complete with a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, Feminist Mad Libs, and a guide to starting your own fight club, this is the professional playbook you've been waiting for.
