Even with more women in the workforce than in decades past, wage gaps continue to increase. It is the most educated women who have fallen the furthest behind. Blue-collar women hold the most insecure and badly paid jobs in our economy. And even as we celebrate high-profile representation--women on the board of Fortune 500 companies and our first female vice president--women have limited recourse when they experience harassment and discrimination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy \u003c\/i\u003eexplains that the system that governs our economy--a winner-take-all economy--is the root cause of these myriad problems. The WTA economy self-selects for aggressive, cutthroat business tactics, which creates a feedback loop that sidelines women. The authors, three legal scholars, call this feedback loop \"the triple bind\" if women \u003ci\u003edon't\u003c\/i\u003e compete on the same terms as men, they lose; if women \u003ci\u003edo \u003c\/i\u003ecompete on the same terms as men, they're punished more harshly for their sharp elbows or actual misdeeds; and when women see that they can't win on the same terms as men, they take themselves out of the game (if they haven't been pushed out already). With odds like these stacked against them, it's no wonder women feel like, no matter how hard they work, they can't get ahead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFair Shake\u003c\/i\u003e is not a \"fix the woman\" book; it's a \"fix the system\" book. It not only diagnoses the problem of what's wrong with the modern economy, but shows how, with awareness and collective action, we can build a truly just economy for all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaomi Cahn, June Carbone, and Nancy Levit are law professors and mothers and have served in leadership roles at various institutions and with national organizations.
