Or, to put it another way, women were supposed to have settled--for what we were grudgingly given, for the crumbs from the table that we had set. For thirty per cent of the seats in Canada's Parliament; for five per cent of the CEO's offices; for a tenth of the salary of male athletes; for the tiny per cent of sexual assault cases that result in convictions; for tenuous control over our health and bodies. \"Aren't we over it yet? No, we're not,\" Elizabeth Renzetti writes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Renzetti draws upon her own life story and her years as an award-winning journalist at the \u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, where her columns followed the trajectory of women's rights. Forcefully argued, accessible, and witty, \u003ci\u003eWhat She Said\u003c\/i\u003e explores a range of issues: the increasingly hostile world of threats that deter young women from seeking a role in public life; the use of non-disclosure agreements to silence victims of sexual harassment and assault; the inadequacy of access to health care and reproductive justice, especially as experienced by Indigenous and racialized women; the ways in which future technologies must be made more inclusive; the disparity in pay, wealth, and savings, and how women are not yet socialized to be the best financial managers they can be; the imbalanced burden of care, from emotional labour to child care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRenzetti explores the nuance of these issues, so often presented as divisive, with humour and sympathy, in order to unite women at a time when women must work together to protect their fundamental right to exist fully and freely in the world. \u003ci\u003eWhat She Said\u003c\/i\u003e is a rallying cry for a more just future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Renzetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780771010101","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43273993060489,"sku":"9780771010101","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_170e1320-6312-4976-9611-9ceb5722985f.jpg?v=1736844605","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/what-she-said-conversations-about-equality-9780771010101","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
