Women face gender discrimination throughout our careers. It doesn't have to derail our ambitions — but how do we prepare to deal with it? There's no workplace orientation session about narrowing the wage gap, standing up to interrupting male colleagues, or taking on many other issues we encounter at work. So HBR staffers Amy Bernstein, Amy Gallo, and Emily Caulfield are untangling some of the knottiest problems. They interview experts on gender, tell stories about their own experiences, and give lots of practical advice to help you succeed in spite of the obstacles.

Customer Reviews
Powerful and inspirational!
As an Asian female leader working in a white male dominant industry, this is my go to podcast when I felt stuck, pushed over and overwhelmed at work. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for us.
Great Show Thank You
I appreciate the depth and insights of this show, that it is not a black and white, us versus them kind of perspective on work place equality. I learnt a lot. But also, I want to see more diverse perspectives represented in the discussion of workplace politics.
Excellent
I listen to this podcast as motivation, when I’m feeling dismissed at work, overwhelmed with motherhood, or when I just need a reminder that we’re all in it together as an invisible sisterhood.
Is my favourite podcast. Thank you, ladies!!
