SIM Ep 275 Chops 121: Carrie Gracie's Equal: A Story of Women, Men & Money

When Carrie Gracie took the BBC to task about its gender pay gap, the whole world was watching. The journalist and now author tells Mickey and Hannah how it felt to fight, to win, to find a sisterhood, and to bear the standard for other women. They also chat unconscious gender bias, the motherhood penalty, why so many people don’t think the gender pay gap exists, and how men need to step up. All of which is covered in Carrie’s excellent new book, Equal: A Story of Women, Men & Money. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
