"We don't need to break more glass ceilings. We don't need more mentorship. We don't need more policy-led empowerment in the workplace. We need a workplace that is not designed around men."

We are in the middle of a "Great Resignation." A historic number of women left their jobs over the past year, resulting in their lowest workforce participation since 1988. Women's unemployment rose to nearly 15 percent, and globally women lost over $800 billion in wages. Decades of social movements focused on gender parity in the workforce failed to consider what women actually need in order to have fruitful and meaningful careers and lives.

In Pay Up, Saujani shows us that we have a landmark opportunity to create change, but we need corporate reform, government intervention, and a large-scale culture shift. Through research and interviews with business leaders, economists, policymakers, and women themselves, she shows what is at stake for companies and their employees--businesses will lose talented, dedicated employees if they choose not to act. She also offers solutions for women who are tired of shouldering more and more responsibility only to be told to "find me-time" or "lean in."

Upending the narrative of corporate feminism, Saujani examines where our ideas about success as a working woman come from and proves that we have both financial incentive and an economic obligation to create a sustainable future for working women. Both a direct call to action for business leaders and a pragmatic set of tools for women themselves, Pay Up is a landmark book to help millions of women fight for what they deserve.
