The bestselling motivational guide that TheAtlantic.com calls "a
rallying cry for women to get the money they deserve."
Why are women so often overlooked and underpaid? What are the real
reasons men get raises more often than women? How can women ask for --
and actually get--the money, the job, the recognition they deserve?
Prompted by her own experience as cohost of Morning Joe, Mika
Brzezinski asked a wide range of successful women to share the critical
lessons they learned while moving up in their fields. Power players such
as Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Harvard's
Victoria Budson, comedian Susie Essman, and many more shared their
surprising personal stories. They spoke candidly about why women are
paid less and the pitfalls women face -- and play into.
Now expanded to address gender dynamics in the #MeToo era, Know Your
Value blends compelling personal stories with the latest research on
why many women don't negotiate their compensation, why negotiating
aggressively usually backfires, and what can be done about it.
For any woman who has ever wondered if her desire to be liked can be a
liability (yes), if there is a way to reclaim her contribution after
it's been co-opted in a meeting (yes), and if there are strategies men
use to get ahead that women should too (yes!), Know Your Value
provides vital advice to help women be their own best advocates.
